GOING TO
Se forma con el sujeto+ el verbo to be*+el verbo tal y como está entre paréntesis
*I am/ you are/ He is/ She is/ it is/we are/ they are
Se usa para:
-hablar de cosas que ya estaban planeadas: He is going to study Medicine
Él va a estudiar Medicina es algo que se planea , no surge de momento
-predicciones con base: It’s cloudy , it is going to rain
Está nublado, va a llover : Hago la predicción porque hay algo que me lo indica
PRESENTE CONTINUO
Se traduce exactamente igual que el “going to”, solo que necesita un circustancial de
futuro:
I am reading=Yo estoy leyendo (ahora)
I’m reading tonight =I’m going to read tonight= Voy a leer esta noche
WILL
Se forma con el sujeto+ will/ won’t +el verbo tal y como está entre paréntesis.
Se usa para hablar de cosas que no estaban planeadas, para ofrecerse a hacer algo, para
las promesas.
I won’t take the dessert :No tomaré postre; en las conversaciones de comida, es casi
siempre will)
If you are tired, we will clean for you: si estás cansado, limpiaremos port í (me estoy
ofreciendo a hacer algo por otra persona)
Tell me your problems, I won’t tell (Cuéntame tus problemas, no se lo contaré a nadie.
Estoy prometiendo hacer algo)
WILL BE DOING
Se forma con el sujeto+ will/ won’t +be+ verbo acabado en -ing
Se traduce por “estaré haciendo” y las palabras que me dan la “pista” de que va este
tiempo es “this” y “at”
This time tomorrow / At nine o’clock I will be playing football
A esta hora mañana / A las 9, estaré jugando al futbol
Pero la verdad de estos dos últimos tiempos verbales es que hay que traducirlos, porque
la diferencia entre “A esta hora mañana estaré durmiendo” y “Para el año que viene me
habré sacado el carnet de conducir” está más en la traducción que en otra cosa
