English Lessons

lesson review - 8 November

Summary
Today's lesson was about future events using "will." We often use these patterns:

• Will you go shopping?
• I will go shopping.
• When will you go shopping?
• I'll go shopping in a few minutes.

We also talked about in/on/at/by as future times for events.

• in a few minutes
• on Saturday or by Saturday
• at 5:00 or by 5:00

Today's Dialogue:
Julie has left her car at the repair shop. She is calling the shop to see if the car is ready. She needs it by a certain time.

Mike: Mike’s automotive.
Julie: Hi. I’m calling about my red minivan. Is it ready yet?
Mike: No it isn’t ready yet. When do you need it?
Julie: I need it by 4:30.
Mike: We’ll start on it right away.
Julie: Do you think it will be done by 4:30.
Mike: Maybe it will, and maybe it won’t. We’ll just have to wait and see.

On your own:

• What would be a good ending for this dialogue? Maybe Julie isn't happy with Mike's answer. Maybe she calls back at 4:30 to see if it is finished yet. How does it end? Write your own ending.
• Remember that future times usually come after the words "by", "in", "at" and "on." Using each one, make up a different time that Julie needs her car.
