Tatiana TS #7

Kubra received a 96% on her grammar test grade. I was helping her study for it earlier in the week. I am so happy for her. Now, Kubra is learning about the future tense. For example, "i will be going" or "i will" phrases. She is able to write clear sentences with the future tenses, but does not know the difference of when they are used. The teacher's notes state that "i will be going to" is used for planned events that one knows is going to happen. The regular "I will" phrases are more unknown and unplanned events. Things that are not 100% guaranteed in the future. Being a native speaker I don't pay attention to when I used which future tense phrase. I just use a phrase when it seems appropriate. It is very interesting tutoring the CEIS students, because my knowledge is refreshed.
