When we are simply giving information about the future, or predicting future events which are not already decided or obviously on the way, we usually use shall or will + infinitive.

Ex: I shall probably be home late tonight. / I think Roger will win this game.

When we talk about future events which have already been planned or decided, or which we can see are on the way, we often use present tenses.

Present progressive or continuous is commonly used.

Shall and will are also used to express our intentions and attitudes towards other people: they are common in offers, requests, threats, promises and announcements of decisions.

We use “shall” mostly in the questions “shall I… ?” / “shall we…?”

Ex: Shall I carry your bag? / I’ll text you tonight. / “You can have it for £50.” “Ok, I’ll buy it.”

The simple present can also be used to talk about the future, but only in certain situations.

The present continuous form of “go” is often used as an auxiliary verb in sentences about the future.This tense is mostly used to talk about personal arrangements and fixed plans, especially when the time and place have been decided.

Ex: Sarah is going to have another baby. / When are you going to get a job? / We’re going to Mexico next summer.

It is often used with verbs of movement, to talk about actions which are just starting.

Ex: Are you coming to the pub? / I’m taking you to the doctor right away!
