Lesson Plan: Future Plans

During this lesson, you will learn how to make sentences and questions about the future.

To speak about the future, we use:

#1Future Simple
#2Future with Going to
#3Present Continuous
#4Other expressions

With those structures, we can create:

  • I will create a new website
  • I am going to create a new website
  • I am creating a new website
  • I would like to create a new website

Technically speaking, “I would like to create a new website” is not a sentence to speak about the future but it conveys the idea that you want to do something in a near future.

We could use also:

  • Might and say “I might create a new website”
  • Hope and say “I hope to create a new website”
  • My goal is and say “My goal is to create a new website

So let’s get started
