how to teach future tense?

[kalbi13]

Hi everyone!

I'm a student and I need to write an essay about future tense: if I would be a teacher how would I teach the furture tense. And if I would teach the "shall/will" first or the present continuos "going to" and why.

How do you teach the future tense and why that way?

Thank you for the help!!

English doesn't have a future tense, Kalbi. Instead of a future tense, English has many ways that we use to discuss the future.

will
would
shall
should
be going to
present continuous for the future
have to
need to
want to
can
could
may
might
be about to
be able to
must
present simple for the future
...

Start with the most common ones first; will/be going to/ present continuous for the future.
