Future (1st and 2nd ESO)

 

Will

We use will + infinitive to express spontaneous decisions about the future

I’m sorry, I haven’t got time to go to the supermarket, I finished work late
Don’t worry, I’ll do it tomorrow

It’s common to use probably / I think … with these future sentences.

We also use will to make offers and promises

 

Present continuous

This tense can also be used to describe events or plans in the future that are arranged or fixed.
Common expressions where we use present continuous for future arrangements are:
– tonight, next month (year,week) tomorrow, this weekend etc.
Examples:
My plane is arriving tonight at about 8:30 pm.
My parents are leaving town tomorrow.
Jack isn’t meeting us next weekend.

What are you doing later?
I am playing soccer.
Is your friend coming to eat with us in the afternoon?
Yes, he is.

Practice the use of future indifferent situations:

will 1

will 2

– future 1

future 2

 

 

Project 2n ESO: teen tribes

Urban tribes are made up by groups of people – usually  young, with a distinct common identity: the same aesthetic codes, the  same identity symbols, the same rules, the same language, the same  music…

Some urban tribes are: emos, punks, heavies, new mods, hippies, manga, otakus, goths…

You have to look for information about a teen tribe and do an oral presentation at the end of the project. It should include:

– origins (when did this tribe start)

– place (country or area where it satarted)

– look (what  they wear, symbols…)

– interests

– famous people they like
