Welcome back to English for Management and Leadership. In this video, we'll be talking about how to create and use the future tense. We know a little about the future tense already. As you know, to express something in the future, we can use am going to, he-she is going to, and they-you-we are going to to do something. Future can also be expressed with will. However, in this lesson, we'll focus on using contractions with the future tense. The definition of a contraction really does mean to make something smaller. Have you heard that English speakers have lazy tongues? Most often. Speaking about the future tense, you'll hear native speakers use contractions. Contractions make it easier and faster to pronounce phrases because they are smaller and shorter. Have you recognized the future tense contractions I've used since this video started? Will and you'll. Since businesses are innovative, constantly changing, and taught to dream big, the future tense is often used for timelines, goals, predictions, and targets. In our video, Don Holt, the Business Unit President, tells those in attendance at the meeting, "You'll be able to see how important your work is to the world." We'll use the apostrophe to make contractions. Apostrophes tell us a letter or letters are missing. Apostrophe plus LL makes the contraction for the future tense will. Let's look at these examples. Listen to the pronunciation. I'll, she'll, he'll, it'll, they'll, we'll, you'll. What is the apostrophe telling us? That wi in will is missing. The contractions can only be made with these pronouns. We can't say, for example, John'll or Tiffany'll. We say John will and Tiffany will. But sometimes, it does seem like this is when a native speaker in English is doing. Again, it comes back to that lazy tongue. The negative contraction form of will is won't. This is just something to memorize. It's an exception to the spelling rules and grammar. Here are some examples. Catherine will be an asset, but she'll also give her opinion. Jake has many ideas, but he won't stop talking. With the future phrases, is, am, are going to, the contraction patterns are a little different. The apostrophe still reminds us that letters are missing. From the video, we hear Elizabeth say, "We're going to jump ahead on the agenda." How are the other pronouns made into contractions? Let's take a look. I'm going to, she's going to, he's going to, it's going to, they're going to, we're going to, you're going to. Remember, after the going to, the verb in the infinitive form comes next. The easiest way to put these future tense phrases into the negative is to add not after the subject. I'm not going to, she, he, it's not going to, we're, they're, you're not going to. But there's another correct way to say the negative future tense with contractions. However, the position of the apostrophe changes. I'm going to stays the same, but she's, he's, it's not going to can also be said as she, he, it isn't going to. We're, they're, you're not going to can also be said as we, they, you aren't going to. Here are a few examples of how those contractions are used. She's going to meet with her team members individually. They aren't going to feel comfortable at first, but eventually, they're going to see her purpose in it. Now, it's your turn to create a few sentences about bio dense future plans using your new knowledge of contractions. Let's review the takeaways from this lesson. Contractions help shorten words in the future tense. They are often used when speaking. The apostrophe tells us letters are missing. For will, the pronouns become I'll, she'll, he'll, they'll, we'll, you'll. The negative for will not is won't. For going to, the pronouns become I'm going to, she's, he's, it's going to, and we're, they're, and you're going to. The negative is not or isn't or aren't. Thanks for joining this language video of Module 2 about future tense contractions. We'll see you again soon in English for Management and Leadership.
