Unit 4 and Unit 5

Future Forms

• We use WILL for a decision made in the time of speaking: I won't buy this dress because it is too small.

• We use GOING TO for our intentions: I'm going to cut down the amount of chocolate I eat.

• We use the PRESENT PROGRESSIVE for when we have made an arrangement in the future, usually with someone else: He is going out with us tonight.

• DON'T FORGET: We don't use the Present Progressive for plans we haven't set a date yet. For that case, use going to.

Making Predictions

• When talking about a prediction in the future, we can use either going to or will.

• To add more certainty to what it's being said, we add some adverbs like "definitely".

• If we're not so certain, we can add probably, might, may or could.

• I think humanity may be colonizing other planets in 100 years.

• The sky is dark and I can hear thunder. It's definitely going to rain.

Past Habits and States: Used to

• We use "used to" to talk about situations that were common in the past, but don't happen anymore (or the opposite, in the negative)

• I used to go out with friends every weekend.

• I didn't use to care about my future.

• Did you use to work at this restaurant?

• Yes, I did.

• No, I didn't.

Past Habits and States: Would

• We can also use "would" when talking about past actions.

• We normally use "would" when telling a story or talking fondly about the past.

• It is very unlikely to use "would" in the negative form to talk about the past. In that case we use "didn't use to".

• I would ride my bike to school every morning when I was a child.

• My mom would read me a story before bed every night.

• Would for past habits is slightly more formal than used to.

Used to and Would or Past Simple

• We can always use the past simple as an alternative to used to or would to talk about past states or habits.

• The past simple doesn't emphasise the repeated or continuous nature of the action or situation.

• We went to the same beach every summer.

• We used to go to the same beach every summer.

• We would go to the same beach every summer.

• If something happened only once, we must use the past simple.

The Passive Voice

• Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb.

• The dog chased the squirrel.

•  Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb’s action.

• The squirrel was chased by the dog.

• How to choose which option is the best? Well, that depends on where you want your focus to be.

• “The squirrel was chased by the dog,” for example. That sentence construction would be helpful if the squirrel were the focus of your writing and not the dog.
