Future Tenses
There are a number of different ways of referring to the
future in English. It is important to remember that we are
expressing more than simply the time of the action or event:
any 'future' tense will always refer to a time 'later than now',
but it may also express our attitude to the future event.
a. Arrangements – Present Continuous
b. Plans and intentions – Going to form
c. Time-tabled events – Present Simple
d. Direct prediction - Future simple (will)
e. Prediction based on present evidence – Going to form
f. Spontaneous decisions – Future simple
g. An action in progress in the future – Future continuous
h. Projecting ourselves into the future and looking back at a
completed action – Future perfect

Writing a summary
A summary is a condensed version of a larger reading. A summary is not a rewrite of
the original piece and does not have to be long. To write a summary, use your own
words to express briefly the main idea and relevant details of the piece you have read.
Your purpose in writing the summary is to give the basic ideas of the original
reading. What was it about and what did the author want to communicate? While
reading the original work, take note of what or who is the focus and ask the usual
questions that reporters use: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Using these
points can help you to write the summary
When you write a summary:
•
Read the text carefully
•
Underline the essential facts: highlighting the main idea and any key supporting
ideas. Look for section headings, bolded or italicized words, and subheadings.
•
Make notes and group the reading into sections according to the author's topic
divisions.
•
Write a one-sentence summary of each section, focusing on the main point.
Don't include unnecessary details
•
Try to find a sentence that summarizes the whole text
•
Write the first draft: In the first sentence, include the title and author of the
reading as well as the the sentence you think summarizes the whole text. Then
use your one sentence summaries to complete the summary
•
Elude personal opinions, but be sure to use your own words
