future tense

[lisa666]

Hello, everyone
Please tell me if the following sentences mean the same. Thank you.

Students don't go to school this Friday.
Students won't go to school this Friday.

 

[Tdol]

Yes and no- they could mean the same, but the second could, for example, mean that they are refusing to go to school this Friday.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Do you mean they are refusing but may change their mind later?

Do you mean they are refusing but may change their mind later?

The language just says that they are refusing. Of course, logic tells us that anyone who makes up his mind can always change it later.

Yes, but "students don't need to go to school" is more natural.

Is the following sentence natural?

Students need not go to school this Friday. (Because it's a public holiday.)

It's not very natural. It implies that they may go if they wish to. There wouldn't be much point, as there would definitely be no teachers there.

1. Teacher : Children, there's no school tormorrow because it is public holiday.
2. Teacher : Children, there'll be no school tormorrow because it is public holiday.

I guess the future tense "will" is correct.
Should "lesson" be used instead of "school"?

Not a teacher.

Which of the following sentences is natural?

1. Teacher : Children, there's no school tormorrow because it is public holiday.
2. Teacher : Children, there'll be no school tormorrow because it is public holiday.

Thanks.

They are equivalent for me. But the word is "tomorrow".

 

[Winwin2011]

I guess the future tense "will" is correct.
Should "lesson" be used instead of "school"?

Not a teacher.

Not a teacher

I think 'no lesson' refers to a single class e.g English class.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Then is it OK to say "no any lesson"?

No.
