Summary Of Book
Main Book : English Grammar In Use
Unit 6 Will (1)
We use will (‘ll) when we decide to do something at the time of speaking:
Oh, I’ve left the door open. I’ll go and shut it.
‘What would you like to drink? I’ll have a lemonade, please.’
‘Did you phone Ann?’ ‘Oh no, I forgot. I’ll do it now.’
I’m too tired to walk home. I think I’ll get a taxi.
You cannot use the present simple (I do) in these sentences.
I’ll go and shut it. (not ‘I go and shut it.’)
Do not use will to say what someone has already decided to do or arranged to do:
I can’t meet you tomorrow because my parents are coming to see me.
(not ‘my parents will come)
The negative of will is won’t (or will not) :
Receptionist: I’m afraid Mr Wood can’t see you until 4 0’clock.
You : Oh, in that case I won’t wait.
We often use I think I’ll ... or I don’t think I’ll ... When we decide to do something:
I think I’ll stay at home this evening.
I dont’t think I’ll go out tonight. I’m too tired.
We often use will in these situations:
Offering to do something:
That bag looks heavy. I’ll help you with it. (not’I help’)
‘I need some money’. Don’t worry, I’ll lend you some.’
Agreeing or refusing to do something:
A: You know that book I lent you? Can I have it back?
B: Of course. I’ll bring it back this afternoon. (not’I bring’)
I’ve asked John to help me but he won’t.
The car won’t start. (=the car ‘refuses’ to start)
Promising to do something;
Thank you for lending me the money. I’ll pay you back on Friday.(not ‘I pay’)
I won’t tell Tom what you said. I promise.
I promise I’ll phone you as soon as I arrive.
Asking someone to do something (Will you...?):
Will you shut the door, please?
Will you please be quiet? I’m trying to concentrate.

Unit 8 Will or going to?

Talking about future actions
We use both will and going to talk about our future actions but there is a clear difference. Study this example
situation:
Helen’s bicycle has a flat tyre. She tells her father.
Helen: My bicycle has a flat tyre.
Can you repair it for me?
Father: Okay, but I can’t do it now.
I’ll repair it tomorrow.
Will : We use will when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker has not decided before.
Before Helen told her father, he didn’t know about the flat tyre.
Later, Helen’s mother speaks to her husband.
Mother: Can you repair Helen’s bicycle? It has a flat tyre.
Father: Yes, I know. She told me. I’m going to repair it tomorrow.
Going to : We use going to when we have already decided to do something. Helen’s father had already decided
to do repair the bicycle before his wife spoke to him.
Here is another example:
Tom is cooking when he suddenly finds that there isn’t any salt:
Tom: Ann, we haven’t got any salt.
Ann: Oh, haven’t we? I’ll get some from the shop then. (she decides at the time of speaking)
Before going out, Ann talks to Jim:
Ann: i’m going to get some salt from the shop. (she has already decided) Can I get you anything, Jim
?
Saying what will happen (predicting future happenings)
We use both will and going to say what we think will happen in the future:
Do you think Tom will get the job?
Oh dear, it’s already 4 o’clock. We’re going to be late.
We use going to (not will) when there is something in the present situation that shows what will
happen in the future (especially the near future). The speaker feels sure about what will happen
because of the situation now (see also Unit 5d):
Look at those black clouds. It’s going to rain. (the clouds are there now)
I feel terrible. I think i’m going to be sick. (i feel terrible now)
Do not use will in situations like these.
Otherwise, it is safer to use will:
Ann will probably arrive at about 8 o’clock.
I think Tom will like the present you bought for him.
Unit 36 If sentences (present/future)
Compare these example:
Tom: I think I left my lighter in youre house. Have you seen it?
Ann: No, but I’ll have a look. If I find it, I’ll give it to you.
In this example there is a real possibility that Ann will find the lighter. So she says: ‘If I find ... I’ll ...’
Ann: If I found 100 in the street, I would keep it.
This is a different type of situation. Ann is not thinking about a real possibility; she is imagining the
situation. So she says: ‘If I found ... I would ...’ (not ‘If I find ... I’ll’).
When you imagine a future happening like this, you use a past tense (did/was/found etc.) after if. But
the meaning is not past:
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
If we didn’t go to their party next week, they would be very angry.
Ann wouldn’t lend me any money if I asked her.
We do not normally use would in the if part of the sentence:
I’d be very frightened if someone pointed a gun at me. (not ‘if someone wouldn’t point’)
If we didn’t go to their party next week, they would be angry. (not ‘if we wouldn’t go’)
Sometimes it is possible to say if ... would, especially when you asked someone to do something in a
formal way:
I would be very grateful if you send me your brochure and price list as soon as possible. (from a
formal letter)
‘Shall I close the door?’ ‘ Yes, please, if you would.’
In the order part of the sentences (not the if part) we use would/wouldn’t. Would is often shortened to
‘d, especially in spoken English:
If you stopped smoking, you’d probably feel healthier.
They wouldn’t come to the party if you invited them.
You can also use could and might:
They might be angry if I didn’t visit them. (= perhaps they would be)
If it stopped raining, we could go out. (= we would be able to go out)
Do not use when in sentences like the ones in this unit:
Tom would be angry if I didn’t visit him. (not ‘when I didn’t visit’)
What would you do if you were bitten by a snake? (not’when you were’)
