is helpful.
The verb to be in the simple present can be also used to
refer to something that is true at the present moment.

Future Simple: “will” For instant decisions: You’re hungry? I will make you a sandwich. - For promises or voluntary actions: I will call you tomorrow.
the Future Simple Tense with will – Negative form
Just as will is used
to express voluntary actions, or things you are willing to do, its negative
form won’t is used to express something you are not willing to do, or even
refuse to do:
I'm tired of trying to talk to Sarah. I won't call her again.
Ask
students to give you examples of things they refuse to do.
the Simple Future Simple with will – Interrogative
form: Will you help me with this?

T: Will you go to tonight's
concert?
S:
the Future Simple with will – Short answers
Will you give us
homework for the weekend?
T: Yes, I will/No, I won't.
the Future Simple with going to
Unlike the future with
will, where an instant decision is made, once you’ve made a decision, and it
constitutes a plan, you use the future with going to to express it. The
conjugation for the future with going to is the same as for the present
continuous. Provide plenty of examples in different persons: You are going to
have a special class next week. A student from London is going to speak to the
class. We are going to listen to his experience studying in the UK.
the Future Simple with going to – Negative form
The future with going
to in negative form, likewise, is used to express things we have decided not to
do. I am not going to give you homework for tonight. I’m going to give
you some exercises for the weekend.
Bon Jovi is not going to come to town next
month. They are going to be here in December.
the Future Simple with going to – Interrogative form

going to: Are you going to buy tickets for the concert tonight? Is President
Obama going to cancel his trip? Are you going to study for the test?
the Future Simple with going to – Short answers

T: Yes, I am/No, I'm not.

Convert the following passage in to the future tense
I travelled to London
to visit the Queen of England. Being a clever fellow, I disguised myself as a
prince and walked into Buckingham Palace as if I owned it.
After receiving
directions from the chambermaid, I stepped into the Queen's bedroom and
surprised Her Royal Highness with a hearty slap on the back. Then, of course, I
tipped my hat, bowed, and delivered the usual compliments. After uncorking a
bottle of champagne, we exchanged pleasantries and talked about our families
for over an hour. I showed her my photograph album and my stamp collection, and
she showed me hers. After a thoroughly entertaining visit, I traded addresses
with Her Majesty and then kissed her goodbye--on the fingertips of her white
gloves, of course.
