Future Tense Help
|
Hi everybody!!
I need some help since I did a quick search but didn �t find what I needed. I need some transformation/rewriting exercises using the future tenses like: going to, will, future continuous and future perfect. My students are 15-16 and in grade 10 (1st year high school), and they do not have an intermediate level. They have more of what I consider to be "lower intermediate" - so no FCE type stuff, please.
If anyone can help me out, I �d greatly appreciate it.
Hugs,
Linda

Linda,
This is not exactly what you are looking for but this is a presentation dialogue about the future taken from one of my teacher �s books. There is a dialogue using the future and then questions.
You can adapt the future continuous from then and also the future perfect

Do you think he is inviting the whole class?

board. If everyone comes there�ll be over 20 of us.*
I wonder where we�ll all sleep.
Mary: On the beach, maybe? Or he�ll put up tents in
the yard. And he�s got a tree house. Maybe we�ll
sleep there.*
Pat: What will you wear, Mary?
