My dear friends,
My name is Sveta, and I'm writting you from Moscow. And I need your help. I'm writting my diploma work on the topic: The English Future Tense: Progress or decay? The only question I have is: is there any Future Tense in English? Could you be so kind and answer me. I'll give you a sentene where you have to fill the gaps with the right Tense (Future): My friends and me ....(to go) to Spain in Summer 2010. Could you answer me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Sveta
