Future Plans & Time Level 3
Introduction
Have you ever thought about what you’re going to do tomorrow? Maybe you plan to visit a friend or go to a fun place like Pokhara. Understanding how to talk about future plans and time is important in our daily lives. In this article, we will learn how to express what we will do in the future and how to tell time.
Definition and Concept
Talking about the future involves using the phrase ‘I will’ to express plans or intentions. For example, ‘I will go to the park tomorrow.’ Time is expressed using hours and minutes, such as ‘It’s quarter to ten,’ which means it is 9:45.
Relevance:
- Daily Life: Helps in planning activities and understanding schedules.
- Communication: Allows us to share our intentions with others.
Historical Context or Origin
The concept of time has been around for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations used sundials and water clocks to measure time. Today, we have watches and digital clocks that help us keep track of time accurately.
Understanding the Problem
When we talk about future plans, we use the structure ‘I will’ + verb. For example, ‘I will eat lunch at noon.’ To tell time, we need to know how to read clocks, including both analog and digital formats.
