Futuro con Will y Shall

FUTURO: WILL – SHALL

1.- Usamos will para hablar de lo que sabemos o pensamos sobre el futuro (predicciones)

The population of the world will increase fast

I don't think there will be a woman Prime Minister in my life.

2.- Usamos will cuando decidimos hacer algo en el momento en el que hablamos (decisiones en el instante) y no cuando ya lo hemos decidido o acordado con anterioridad (be going to).

I'm thirsty, I think I make some tea

3.- Usamos will en ofertas, invitaciones o promesas.

I peel the potatoes.................. Oh, thank you

Will you come to lunch?..... Yes, thank you. I'd love it

I'll pay you back next week.

4.- A menudo usamos Will con :

probably I'll probably be home late tonight

I expect I haven't seen Carol today. I expect she'll phone this evening

(I'm) sure Don't worry about the exam. I'm sure you will pass

I think Do you think Sara will like the present I bought

I don't think I don't think the exam will be very difficult.

I wonder I wonder what will happen

5.- utilizamos Shall para el futuro en tercera persona igual que Will pero es mucho mas formal. Sobre todo se utiliza con el sentido de sugerencia.

Shall we all go out together?......... Good idea.

Futuro con Be going to...

FUTURO: BE GOING TO

y usamos la expresión “be going to” para expresar lo que hemos decidido (aunque quizas no acordado) hacer.
