Period 81:A CLOSER LOOK 2
1/ Listen again to part of the conversation in GETTING STARTED. Underline the future continuous tense and answer the questions.
Phuc: … How about this Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m.? There’s Superman 3.
Nick: Great…, but I’ll be having my Vietnamese class then. Let’s go for the 4.15 p.m. show. I’ll need to take the bus to Nguyen Du
Street and it’s quite far.
Phuc: But it’s not Galaxy Nguyen Du! We’ll be seeing it at Galaxy Nguyen Trai ...
What will Nick be doing at 2.30 p.m. this Sunday?
= > He’ll be having my Vietnamese class
2. What will Phuc and Nick be doing at about 4.15 p.m. this Sunday?
= > They will be watching a film at a cinema.
I. GRAMMAR:
A.THE FUTURE COUNTINUOUS:
Example: - At this time tomorrow, we will be playing football in the stadium.
We use the future continuous tense to express being in the
process of doing something at a specific time in the future.
Example:
Tonight at 8.30 p.m. Mai will be watching Frozen
again at home. She loves it!
(She will be in the process of watching the film at 8.30 p.m.)
Look out!
We often include a specific time when using the future continuous.
(+ ): S + WILL/ SHALL+ BE + V- ing
(- ): S + WILL / SHALL + NOT BE + V- ing
(? ): WILL/ SHALL+ S+ BE + V- ing?

Phuc: Hi Nick. What happened today? We were waiting for ages and you never showed up!
Nick: Hi Phuc. Well I wanted to ask you the same question.
Phuc: Why? We planned to meet outside the cinema, didn’t we? We waited and then Mai decided to go in without you. She didn’t want to miss the start of Frozen you know. Did you oversleep or something?
Nick: No, I was there on time, and it was me who waited for you two.
Phuc: Are you kidding? We didn’t see you there. We tried to call you but couldn’t get through.
Nick: I couldn’t call you either. My battery was flat.

Act 4: Look at the conversation in GETTING STARTED again and write down all the verbs that are followed by to-infinitive that you can find.
Verbs + to-infi nitive
If we want to follow a verb with another action, we must use either a gerund (Unit 1) or an infinitive.
Example: They want to see Superman 3 this Sunday.
Some common verbs followed by to-infinitive
• Verbs of thinking: choose, decide, plan
• Verbs of feeling: love, hate, prefer
• Other verbs: try, want, need
Watch out!
Some verbs such as love, hate, prefer can be followed by both a gerund and to-infinitive without significant change in meaning.

Act 6: The Dream List. Imagine we are in the year 2050. Work in pairs and select three ways of communication that you think will be most common. Then make the list longer by sharing your ideas with another pair using full sentences.
