Lesson 1 Task 5: Time traveling

Let’s change the verb tense ofo this text! It’s in present and you have to write it again twice, one in past, and the other one in the future simple (Imagine you are a futurologist!).

Before getting started, review:

- The past: regular & irregular verbs

- The past: affirmative, negative & interrogative sentences

- The future: affirmative, negative & interrogative sentences

- will / (I, we) shall (formal; suggestions):

We can use shall instead of will with I and we in statements. Its use is more formal:

We shall never forget the holiday we had in Vietnam.

When we use shall I and shall we in questions it is usually to make suggestions rather than to refer to future time:

It’s getting late. Shall we go home?

Shall I invite Louisa and Jill to the party?

A Future Tense in "When I'm gone"

The singer in the video clip is certain that something's going to happen in the future. What is it?



Yeap, we use be going to when we're sure that something will happen. Have a look at the sentences below and try to fill in the blanks:


1. It's cloudy. ......................................................... rain.
2. She hasn't studied. ............................................. fail.
3. They're trying over and over again. ......................... make it!



Right now you must be ready to know whether the following statements are true or false. If false, correct them:

1. She's going on a short trip.
2. She's got two tickets.
3. On the way to her destination, she's just going to have some soft drinks.
4. She'd like to travel on her own.
5. She's leaving the day after.
6. When she leaves, nobody is going to think of her.
7. Her hair, the way she walks or talks are not particularly appealing to anybody.

SPEAKING:

a) Do you think it's a farewell song or a kind of invitation for somebody to go away with her?

b) Maybe the main idea of the song is the fact of MISSING somebody. If you had to leave your hometown, what or who would you miss? Why?

c) Are you going to miss anyone when the school year finishes?

Plans, Intentions and Resolutions

a) Listen and take note of the decisions and intentions of this man in love.

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), by the Proclaimers

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
