El futuro: will, going to, presente continuo

Tres formas de hablar del futuro, y «when» + presente.

be going to + baseintención ya decidida, predicción evidenteI'm going to buy a car. Look, it's going to rain.
presente continuocita o plan organizadoI'm meeting Tom tomorrow.

Going to se parece a «ir a + infinitivo» (voy a comprar), y el presente continuo al presente español con valor de futuro («mañana veo a Tom»).

When / as soon as / before / after + presente

  • I'll call you when I get home.
    Te llamaré cuando llegue a casa.
