Future Plans
11th grade
Look at these examples to see how will, going to and the present continuous are used.
Grammar explanation
We use different verb forms to talk about our plans for the future, depending on what kind of plan it is: a spontaneous plan, a pre-decided plan or an arrangement.
will
We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided at the moment of speaking.
Oops, I forgot to phone Mum! I'll do it after dinner.
I can't decide what to wear tonight. I know! I'll wear my green shirt.
There's no milk. I'll buy some when I go to the shops.
We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking.
I'm going to phone Mum after dinner. I told her I'd call at 8 o'clock.
I'm going to wear my black dress tonight.
I'm going to go to the supermarket after work. What do we need?
We usually use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement – already confirmed with at least one other person and we know the time and place.
I'm meeting Jane at 8 o'clock on Saturday.
We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come?
We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future plans.

Celebrations
7th & 8th Grades
It is a joyful occasion for special festivities to mark some happy event.
The words holiday or vacation have related meanings in different English-speaking countries and continents, but will usually refer to one of the following activities or events:
So what is the difference between holiday, vacation and festival?
Holiday is a contraction of holy and day, holidays originally represented special religious days. This word has evolved in general usage to mean any extra special day of rest (as opposed to regular days of rest such as the weekend).
A festival is an event, usually staged by a local community, which centers on some unique aspect of that community. There are numerous types of festivals in the world. Though many have religious origins, others involve seasonal change or have some cultural significance.
In the United Kingdom the word "vacation" referred specifically to the long summer break. The French term is similar to the American English: "Les Vacances." The term derives from the fact that, in the past, upper-class families would literally move to a summer home for part of the year, leaving their usual family home vacant for countrywide holidays.

An adverb of frequency describes how often an action happens. There are six main adverbs of frequency that we use in English: always, usually (or normally), often, sometimes, rarely, and never.
They differ in the level of frequency, as you can see below.
We can also use ‘seldom’ as an alternative to ‘rarely’, but it is not very common in modern English.
I find it useful to show students the table above, so that they can see the most common position for adverbs of frequency is between the subject and the verb. Here are some other examples I tend to use with them:
Are there any example sentences you use which you feel help students to grasp the meaning better than the above ones?
Once students have understood this we then have to introduce them to the exception to this rule- the verb ‘to be’. With sentences using the verb ‘to be’, the adverb of frequency comes after the verb. For example:
As is often the case in English, there are variations to this rule. For example, it’s possible to put the adverbs ‘sometimes’ and ‘usually’ at the beginning of a sentence:
It’s easier to encourage students to follow the rule of putting all adverbs of frequency between the subject and verb. Just remember to remind them the verb ‘to be’ is different and put the adverb after it.
How do you usually concept check this as sometimes it can be confusing!?
To make questions about frequency, we normally use ‘How often…?’. For example:
But it’s also possible to ask questions simply with an adverb of frequency. For example:
If + past + would + verb
Second conditional is used in situations/actions in the present or future which are not likely to happen or are imaginary, hypothetical or impossible.
I think it is very unlikely that I will win the lottery. However, in this unlikely condition, I will travel and buy a castle.
I am watching TV, but I am imagining an alternative activity I would be doing if I wasn’t watching TV.
It is impossible for me to be an alien. However, I am imagining what I would do in this situation
Other modal verbs can be used in place of would:
Buying a car would be possible.
Giving the money to charity is only a possibility.
Explaining Second Conditional

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGhR1EP0OxY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEwcIsTKBU4
for unreal possibility
The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition. But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no win! But maybe you will buy a lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about winning in the future, like a dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible.
| if | condition | result |
|---|---|---|
| Past Simple | would + base verb | |
| If | I won the lottery, | I would buy a car. |
Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. We use the Past Simple tense to talk about the future condition. We use would + base verb to talk about the future result. The important thing about the second conditional is that there is an unreal possibility that the condition will happen.
Look at these example sentences:
| if | condition | result |
|---|---|---|
| Past Simple | would + base verb | |
| If | I married Mary, | I would be happy. |
| If | Ram became rich, | she would marry him. |
| If | it snowed next July, | would you be surprised? |
| If | it snowed next July, | what would you do? |
| result | if | condition |
|---|---|---|
| would + base verb | Past Simple | |
| I would be happy | if | I married Mary. |
| She would marry Ram | if | he became rich. |
| Would you be surprised | if | it snowed next July? |
| What would you do | if | it snowed next July? |
