​will/won’t

• We use will and won’t when we are confident about a prediction. We often add adverbs like certainly, definitely and probably to make a prediction sound stronger.

  • ​Adverbs like these normally come:

    > after will

      My job will definitely be very different in the future.

  • > before won’t

      Most people at my company probably won’t have a job next year.​

may/might

​We use may (not) or might (not) when we are less confident about a prediction.

  The company may need to close the factory.

  They might not give me the job as I don’t have much experience.

We use will/won’t/might/might not + be able to to make predictions about ability.

  She probably won’t be able to come to the meeting.

  We might be able to get a discount.

​Grammar rules!

• ​'Will' is normally contracted after pronouns.

  • ​ It’ll rain tomorrow.

• ​​The negative forms: will > won’t/ might>might not/mightn't.

  • ​It won’t rain later. (or It may not rain … and

      It mightn’t / might not rain …)

• ​Never contract may not – May not (Correct!) / Mayn't

• Adverbs come ​after will > My job will definitely be very different in the future.

• Adverbs come before won’t > Most people at my company probably won’t have a job next year.

​Future forms: Will ใช้กับ การตัดสินใจที่เกิดขึ้นในขณะที่กำลังพูดประโยค

We use will + infinitive without to for a decision made at the moment of speaking.

​

  A: Have you sent Martin the email?

  B: No – I’ll do it now.

​

​Future forms: > 'Going to' ใช้กับการตัดสินใจที่เกิดขึ้นก่อนพูดประโยคนั้น

We use going to + infinitive for a plan or intention decided before the moment of speaking. > 'Going to' ใช้กับการตัดสินใจที่เกิดขึ้นก่อนพูดประโยคนั้น

  I’m going to look for a new job. (= This is my intention. I decided this a few days ago.)

  Max has got a new job. We’re going to organize a party for him to say goodbye. (= This is our idea, but we don’t have any fixed plans yet.)

​

The negative of going to is 'not going to'.

  >He’s not going to come. (not He’s going to not come.)

To make questions with going to, we use are you going to … , is she going to … , etc.

  >Are you going to send me the report soon?

​Future forms: Present continuous แพลนที่มีตารางนัดหมายชัดเจน

> a fixed arrangement to do something at a specified (or understood) time in the future.

We use the present simple for an event that follows a regular schedule or timetable, like the time of trains, flights, etc.

  My flight leaves at 6.34 am.

  My class finishes at 9.30 pm.

We don’t normally use the present simple to talk about an arrangement with other people. We use the present continuous or going to instead.
