Have you ever made any New Year´s resolutions?
What were they?

A New Year´s resolution is a decision on the first day of the year about the things you want to change in your daily life in order to make it better. A resolution is a promise to yourself, so you must keep it against all odds, Studies say that 37% of men reach their goals, but only 30 % of women do. Curious, isn´t it?

These are some of the most popular New Year´ s resolutions.

I will...

Do sport
Start a diet
Give up smoking
Learn languages
Make new friends
Save money
Take a trip
Enjoy life more
Help others
Pay off debts
Find a better job

To make it easier, apart from choosing a goal, you should define the steps that will take you there.
Reading your resolutions to friends or members of your family will also help you reach your goals.

An example?

Resolution 1: I will lose some weight

Step 1: I will eat healthy food
Step 2: I will walk to work
Step 3: I will join a gym

Buenas tardes, chicos! Os dejo aquí un resumen en español, claro y conciso, del uso del Futuro en inglés, además de algunos ejercicios con los que precticarlo. Espero que os sea útil.
See you soon!

FUTURO SIMPLE "WILL"

Usamos futuro con WILL en...

1.- Predicciones de acontecimientos o situaciones futuras (sin pistas o evidencias en el presente)

When you return home, you'll probably notice a lot of changes.

Suele usarse con;· Probably. I'll probably be a bit late today.
· I'm sure. I'm sure you'll like Andrew.
· I expect. I expect Carol will get the job.
I think. Do you think we'll win the match?

2− Usamos el futuro simple cuando decidimos algo sobre la marcha, en el momento en que hablamos.

I've left the door open. I'll go and shut it.
:
2..- Ofrecimientos.

I'll help you with your bag

4.-. Promesas.

   I'll pay you back on Friday.

5.-. Peticiones.

Will you shut the door, please?

Futuro con GOING TO.

1.− Usamos going to para futuro cuando tenemos intenciones o planes de hacer algo.

I'm going to have an early night.

2.− Usamos También going to para hablar de algo que tenemos la certeza de que va a ocurrir en el futuro, ya que tenemos alguna evidencia de ello..

There is a hole in front of that man. He is going to fall into it.

PRESENTE CONTINUO (Valor de futuro)

Se usa el presente continuo para:

1.- Preparativos, el futuro planificado.

I am having lunch with a friend tomorrow.at 9 o´clock.

La diferencia entre usar el futuro con going to o el futuro con el presente continuo es que going to solo expresa intenciones mientras el presente continuo expresa planes fijos.
