Future Hopes: Practice with the future progressive and future perfect
Some verb forms are simply not used as much as others. Nevertheless, verbs in the future progressive, future perfect, and future perfect progressive exist, and they do have a place in our communication with others.
The task for us teachers is to select real and natural contexts in which our students can practice using these forms. I know I’m not the first to match future verb forms to the topic of future hopes and goals. However, I hope my “Future Hopes” activity will save other teachers the time it takes to come up with a set of questions and a format that encourages repetitive yet natural use of these verb forms. Please see my Future Hopes_handout. Enjoy!
