(Elementary. Troubleshooting "present simple" for the future: plans with timetables)

We all need a vacation, don't we? 

No matter what you do or where you work, you have to manage your time so that you can do everything. You also have to match your schedule with the schedule of work, trains, buses, and sometimes movie theaters and concert halls. And that itself is a source of stress! 

Well, let's at least take the stress out of talking about it! In this episode, we look at how we use present simple to talk about the future.

(Elementary. Troubleshooting "present continuous" vs "present simple": temporary situations and permanent situations.)

Let's be Zen and live in the present. Okay, but is it present simple or present continuous? Well, it looks like nothing in life is simple, but it can be easy. 

 Come with me and learn why it is important to choose present simple sometimes, and other times present continuous. Plus, as always, you can find extra help on the episode webpage and the transcript (it's color-coded!).

Getting closer to the date of our plans can be very exciting! Or, if you are going to the dentist, maybe not so much. 

 Listen to this episode to find out how you can give your listener extra information about your plans without talking more.  You can also do the opposite and choose to give less information! Anyway, you can choose!

(Elementary. Troubleshooting "will" vs "going to". Part 2: Predicting the future)

Ok, so now we can talk about facts and plans, but what about predicting the future? Should you say "It will happen", or "It's going to happen."? Both?! Why can't things be easy?!

But they are! Listen to this episode, and the next time you are giving your opinion about future events, you can sound more believable! 

Yoda and the cast of Friends will help you learn if you visit the episode page, and you can read the transcript, too!

(Elementary. Troubleshooting "will" vs "going to". Part 1: facts and plans)

"I will see you."
"I'm going to take a nap!"

Both are certain. 100%. So why oh why do we have two different forms?! And when should I use which?

Come listen to this first episode with me, and we will see why, practice how, and hopefully have fun without getting bored with grammar exercises! 

 We are going to look at examples, answer questions, and most importantly, find out how to practice this with only one or two minutes a day! So, come with me! It won't even take 10 minutes! 

Iron Man and a puppy are on the episode page to help, too! And, the transcript!
