Основное содержание урока

Yesterday I was watching TV when suddenly my phone rang. It was my friend. She saw the advertisement of the concert and wanted to go there.

Today we are going to the concert of our music band. I think I’m going to put on my new dress and high heels. I’m so excited because the band will give only one concert in our town.

There are several ways of expressing future actions. They are:

Future Simple
going to
Present Continuous
Present Simple

We use Future Simple:

when you predict the future, especially with the words certainly, think, believe, be sure, perhaps, expect, etc.;
when we talk about offers and spontaneous decisions;
when we talk about actions that will be in the future for sure.

Be going to is used:

to express plans;
to predict something when there is a proof that it will happen in the future.

Present Continuous is used to talk about arrangements in the near future.
Present Simple is used when we talk about programs or timetables.

To express actions that happened in the past we use Past Simple and Past Continuous.

Past Simple is used:

to talk about an action which happened at a stated time in the past;
to talk about actions which happened one after another in the past;
to talk about past states.

Past Continuous is used:

to describe an action which was in progress at a definite time in the past;
to describe something which was in progress when it was interrupted by another action;
to describe two or more actions which were in progress at the same time in the past.
