She is a 13-year-old, Italian student. (She is 13 years old. She is Italian. She is a student.)

I live in a beautiful, 30-year-old, modern home on a 3-storey block of flats. The rooms aren’t very big, but they’re cosy.

There are six rooms. There’s a modern kitchen, a living room with some antique furniture, two bedrooms and a modern study. I don’t have a fireplace as there is central heating, which is cleaner.

The floors are made of  pink and blue, ceramic tiles/parquet and the walls are light-coloured. The lighting is modern, but there are some old-fashioned lamps in the bedrooms.

16 - FUTURE TENSES

FUTURE

In English, the future tense is different from Italian. The “future” form depends on what the action or state is at the time of speaking. (For example, is it programmed? Is it an intention? Is it an idea you have? Is it on a timetable?)

Present Simple	Present Continuous	Be going to	Will
-habitual action I visit my grandmother every weekend. -future: timetable (orario stabilito) The bus to my grandmother leaves on Saturday at 8 in the morning. Naples plays against Juve this Saturday afternoon.	-action happening at the moment. I’m going to school now. -programmed future I’m visiting my grandmother this weekend. (My grandmother knows. I called and made plans with her.)	-future intention I’m going to visit my grandmother this weekend. (I want to go but I did not call my grandmother.) -evident Look at those clouds. It's going to rain.	-predictions In 2030 cars will fly. Tomorrow it will rain. -promises I’ll call you this weekend. -decision made the moment speaking (At a restaurant) I’ll have the hamburger and chips. What are you doing this weekend? I don’t know. I think I will go to the cinema.  I might go to the cinema. I will probably go to the cinema.   -personal ideas in the future I (don’t) think I’m (not) sure I’m (not) certain I don’t think I will go to the cinema this weekend.
