Is the present time just this one millisecond, not even the second one? If so, who can notice any present time at all? |
I suppose we should not go too much into a philosophical debate as to what is present, past and future.
As kids, we all learnt that yesterday is past, today is present, and tomorrow is future, in our 'Tense' classes. so why don't we concentrate on that? Probably the query was about the usage of future tense, or the way you can express future time.
You can use 'will' for indicating a future action, anything that is going to happen after sometime (definitely not in this millisecond
) My brther will go to Australia tomorrow.
There are other ways to expresst eh future sense.
- going to - My brother is going to Australia tomorrow.
- goes - My brother goes to Australia tomorrow.
- is to - My brother is to go to Australia tomorrow.
At present (in this millisecond, to be exact) I remember only this much. Please contribute to this list.
