🔰Future 🔰المستقبل There is no one ‘future tense’ in English. There are 4 future forms. The one which is used most often in spoken English is ‘going to’, not ‘will’. ⚪️ Going to 🔰 سوف 1️⃣ A present tense 🔻This structure is really a present tense (the present progressive of go). We use it to talk about future actions and events that have some present reality. If we say that something in the future is going to happen, it is usually already planned or decided, or it is starting to happen, or we can see it coming now. 🔻هذهالتركيبةهيفعلاًزمنالمضارع (المضارعالمستمرمن go). نستخدمهاللحديثعنالأحداثالمستقبليةالتيلهابعضمنالحقيقةفيالوقتالراهن. إذاقلناأنشيئاًماسيحدثفيالمستقبل،فعادةًمايتمالتخطيطلهأوتحديدهبالفعل،أوأنهبدأفيالحدوث،أويمكننارؤيتهقادمًاالآن. 2️⃣Plans: 🔻We use be going to + infinitive to talk about plans, especially in an informal style. This structure often emphasises the idea of intention, or a decision that has already been made. 🔻نحننستخدمصيغة be going to + infinitive للحديثعنالخطط،وخاصةبأسلوبغيررسمي. غالباًماتؤكدهذهالصيغةعلىفكرةالنية،أوالقرارالذيتماتخاذهبالفعل. 🔹We'regoingto get a new car soon. 🔹Jack says he’sgoingtophone this evening. 🔹When are you goingtoget your hair cut? 🔹I’mgoingto keep asking her out until she says 'Yes’. 🔹I’m going to stop him reading my emails if it’s the last thing I do. 🔹They’re going to launch it next month. 🔹We’re going to have lunch first. 🔹She’s going to see what she can do. 🔻Notice that this plan does not have to be for the near future. 🔻لاحظ أن هذه الخطة لا يجب أن تكون بالضرورة في المستقبل القريب. 🔹When I retire I’m going to go back to Barbados to live. 🔹In ten years time, I’m going to be boss of my own successful company. @EnglishGrammarSecrets
