Hey friends…

I told my followers to ask me

their grammatical questions the other day

and this question:

What is future in the past?

Was the most asked one!

So today I’m here to teach you

this sweet little lesson.

Sometimes you may want to talk about

something you thought would happen in the future,

at a point in the past.

in this case you need to know

how to form such sentences.

I will go to the cinema.

Well, Yesterday I said I would go to the cinema.

So will becomes would!

I’m going to start a new job.

the last time I saw you,

you were going to start a new job,

what’s it like?

So am/is/are going to

become was/were going to.

I’m traveling tomorrow.

Hey, last week you were traveling

the day after I saw you,

how did it go?

So the present continuous

becomes the past continuous.

Isn’t it easy?

You just need to use the past versions

of the future forms.

So to recap:

Will becomes would.

Am/is/are going to becomes was/were going to.

And the present continuous

becomes the past continuous.

Which grammar rules are the most difficult ones?

ask us…

we’ll make videos!

Bye for now!
