Practising English ·

2022/06/01

For a student who is still in the pre-intermediate level of English, it's very easy to think that 'will' is what we use to talk about future.

Today, I'll look at the three main ways we talk about future in English: the use of 'will', 'going to + infinitive' and present continuous for future. This is a B1 level podcast!
