STOP SAYING "I Will" - Every English Textbook Gets this WRONG!

0:00 "Today it will rain." Yes, it's in the textbooks.

0:03 But no, we don't say Usually this lesson is clickbait, Stop saying everything.

0:10 But no, today is a real one.

0:12 when a new student comes to my class,

0:16 I ask this What are your plans this weekend?

0:20 and the answer is always this.

0:23 This weekend I will see my friends and this weekend I will study.

0:29 We don't say that.

0:31 in today's class I'll show you how

0:34 to sound natural talking about future things in English.

0:37 And as a bonus, I'll show you a unique way

0:40 that we use Will that you don't learn in school.

0:45 but it's very, very common, so you need to learn it.

0:49 Most common future question.

0:51 What are you doing tonight?

0:53 Most common answer.

0:54 I'm going to sleep early.

0:56 I'm so tired.

0:58 or.

0:58 Oh, I'm seeing a mate tonight.

1:00 Two structures.

1:02 Be going to Gunnar or be with ING the present continuous.

1:09 neither of them use will Why is this?

1:12 Thinking of possible plans.

1:15 Be going to be Gunnar I'm gonna watch the show on Netflix.

1:19 I'm gonna read my book.

1:20 I'm gonna sleep early.

1:22 Oh, Now you do it.

1:25 What are you going to do tonight?

1:28 Think about 1 or 2 possible things.

1:31 Write it in the comments, but don't hit comment just yet.

1:37 Pause the video.

1:38 Write your answer, then continue when you're ready.

1:42 Okay.

1:42 So that's this.

1:43 What about this present continuous.

1:47 Is there a difference.

1:48 Yes.

1:49 Imagine What are you doing tonight?

1:52 I bought Sabrina Carpenter tickets.

1:54 So definitely I see her.

1:57 I'm seeing Sabrina Carpenter present continuous because I

2:02 bought a ticket this is an arranged plan.

2:06 so probably this.

2:08 You talked with your friend before.

2:10 Hey, do you want to meet tonight?

2:11 Yes, I want to meet tonight.

2:12 Cool.

2:13 It's a plan.

2:14 We are meeting tonight.

2:17 I'm seeing a mate.

2:20 You do it.

2:21 Think of 1 or 2 things that you

2:24 have planned 100% definite organized, planned things.

2:30 Maybe you bought a ticket to see someone.

2:33 Did you arrange a plan with a friend or.

2:37 I've decided I'm not changing my mind.

2:41 Are you going out tonight?

2:42 Absolutely not.

2:43 I am staying home with my dog.

2:47 Right.

2:47 1 or 2 into that comment, but still don't hit comment just yet.

2:53 We're not finished.

2:54 There's more.

2:55 Why is it.

2:56 What are you doing tonight?

2:57 why isn't it?

2:58 What are you going to do tonight?

3:00 I don't understand the difference.

3:02 Basically, these mean the same thing,

3:05 but there is a difference Let me show These two had plans to meet tonight.

3:12 But he calls his friend and says.

3:15 Hey.

3:15 Sorry I can't meet you tonight.

3:17 I'm going to the hospital.

3:19 That's a 100% plan.

3:22 Yeah, my dog punched my dad, so.

3:26 He says.

3:28 Yeah.

3:29 So what are you going to do now?

3:32 we need this one?

3:34 What are you gonna do?

3:36 Because when plans change, you need to think of new ideas, new possibilities.

3:44 That is this.

3:47 Oh not that plan.

3:50 I think of new plan tonight.

3:54 I'm probably going to have a bath and go to bed.

3:57 I get.

3:58 So when do you use.

4:00 Well will is for future but for very

4:06 specific cases very specific situations For example,

4:10 your mother says to you, you never study.

4:13 You fail your exams and you're a terrible son.

4:16 You want to say.

4:17 I promise tonight I will study.

4:21 this will is good.

4:23 This is great.

4:25 Why?

4:25 Because you are promising.

4:29 Actually, You don't need to say this.

4:32 I will it sounds like I promise.

4:36 now imagine your friends invite you.

4:39 Hey, do you want to play video games tonight?

4:42 I promised my mom study, so.

4:46 Tonight I'm studying, in this case will is a promise.

4:52 Right.

4:53 But English is weird.

4:55 We can also use be going to be Gunnar for promises like here.

5:11 Do I use that clip too much.

5:14 I use a lot.

5:15 You need to study.

5:16 Yes I'm going to I promise.

5:19 Yes I will, I promise.

5:21 Both are great for promises.

5:24 so will.

5:25 Great for promises.

5:26 Also good to reassure someone like this.

5:30 For example, your friend comes to you and says, oh,

5:33 I'm so grumpy, I'm so hungry and I'm tired and I'm angry.

5:36 You could reassure your friend Don't worry, I will cook something.

5:42 Do you sound like a robot?

5:43 No.

5:44 Don't worry, I'll cook something.

5:47 What?

5:47 pronounce it with me.

5:49 Don't worry.

5:50 I'll think of something.

5:51 I'll take care of it.

5:53 in questions.

5:54 When is Will.

5:55 Good.

5:56 when you ask for help.

5:58 Will is a great way of doing that.

6:01 Will you help me?

6:02 Will you give me a hand?

6:04 Will you marry me?

6:06 It's always.

6:07 Will you marry me?

6:08 It's never.

6:10 Are you gonna marry me?

6:11 Are you marrying me?

6:12 Don't analyze it.

6:14 Just.

6:15 If you're going to ask, ask this way.

6:17 Okay, getting more advanced now.

6:19 The dog says I'm going to punch your dad.

6:24 But he replies, I will call the police.

6:27 Why will here.

6:28 Why?

6:29 Gunner I'm going to punch your dad.

6:33 That's a promise, right?

6:35 I will punch your dad.

6:39 That sounds like a threat.

6:40 There is a difference in feeling, If you punch him,

6:43 I will call the police there's a condition.

6:47 That's why.

6:48 Will and notice we're stressing.

6:51 Will here.

6:52 So, are you feeling the differences?

6:55 Are you feeling the difference in vibes with will?

6:59 Be gunner and the present continuous be plus ING.

7:03 And don't forget the negatives.

7:06 A dog punched my dad.

7:08 But it's a secret.

7:10 Don't tell anyone if she wants to promise.

7:15 No.

7:16 Tell anyone.

7:18 Don't worry, I won't.

7:21 A dog punched her.

7:22 Dad.

7:23 now.

7:50 Ali I'm gonna tell everyone that this is the best

7:54 English channel on YouTube and you're the coolest YouTube teacher.

7:58 Pause this video 1 or 2 ideas, then you can hit comment.

8:03 and I told you there's a bonus way that we

8:06 use Will that your teacher definitely didn't teach you.

8:09 Whenever I teach this, students have never heard of it,

8:13 but it's very, very common to use.

8:15 In school.

8:16 You learn Today it will rain.

8:19 Yes, it's in the textbooks.

8:20 But no, we don't say Trust me.

8:23 No British human says today it will rain.

8:28 there's a good weather video here.

8:30 Will is good for predictions.

8:31 When you're 95% sure about the situation, for example.

8:38 your friend says, Where's Ali?

8:41 You think I know Ali?

8:44 Ali now sleeping.

8:47 You are 95% sure of the situation.

8:51 Use will like this.

8:53 He'll be sleeping now.

8:54 I'm sure.

8:55 95% sure.

8:57 If.

8:57 If he's not sleeping, he'll be playing video games.

9:01 If he's not playing video games, he'll be editing a video.

9:04 If he's not editing a video, he'll be.

9:07 Notice the pattern?

9:09 He'll be ING.

9:12 So use will and the future continuous when you are 95% sure of the situation.

9:18 What are you 95% sure that I am doing right now?

9:24 Think of the time.

9:25 Think of me.

9:26 What do you think?

9:28 Write it in the comments.

9:29 I'll give a heart to the correct one.

9:31 And shall You remember that we can ask a question like this.

9:36 Will you help me?

9:37 That's fine from him.

9:40 If she says, will I help you?

9:44 It sounds like.

9:46 Will I help you?

9:48 Yes.

9:50 No, no.

9:52 She is offering help.

9:54 So.

9:55 So this is another reason you don't use Will when you offer help from yourself.

10:02 Hey, will I help you?

10:04 No.

10:04 Shall I give you a test on everything you've learned today?

10:09 Imagine your boss tells you.

10:11 Hey, tell Becky that she's fired.

10:15 That's all.

10:16 She could say this in three different ways.

10:20 Will you let her know?

10:22 or are you going to let her know?

10:24 Or are you letting her know What is the difference

10:28 between these three different ways to say the same thing?

10:33 Write your answer in the comments.

10:35 I'll give a little heart to the correct answer.
