Grammar 10 - Tenses - Future Time Reference
In the previous quizzes we have studied past tenses and present tenses. In this High English quiz we look at the different future tense forms - simple, perfect and continuous.
When we talk about the past or the present we are able to describe actions that have happened or that have happened in the past and are continuing now and may continue into the future. It is easier to talk about the past as there is certainty about the events that have taken place. Events in the present are a continuation of the events that have happened in the past and there is some order of certainty about them as well. However, when it comes to talking about the future there is no certainty but only probabilities or possibilities, depending on what we may think is likely to happen or what we plan or intend to do in the future.
