Planning Future

A plan is set of decisions about how to do something in the future.

We can make a plan, predict what will be doing tomorrow at this time and what will have done. 

Future Plan by Using Present Continuous

Present Continuous? ( S + is/am/are + V-ing )

Example of present continuous tense:

• He is hoping…

• I am playing with the idea of…

• I’m thinking of going to…

• We’re planning to go…

Future Plan by Using Present Perfect

Present Perfect  ( S+ has/have + V3 )

Example of present perfect tense:

• We’ve decided to…

• We’ve settled on…

• We’ve opted for…

• I’ve booked…

Future Plan by Using Will

We usually use “ will” ( dan biasanya di ikut V1 ) when we are not sure about the future, a spontaneous decision (while we are speaking) and to express a prediction.

Examples

1. I think I will go shopping tomorrow.

2. I will visit new house when I am free

3. Will you visit my house?

4. I will not go shopping tomorrow.
