NI1: FAMILY AND FUTURE TENSES



Hi folks!


Have a look at these notes on future tenses.

In this link you'll have the opportunity to listen to a guy talking about his family, with a multiple choice exercise (sometimes you have to choose more than one option).


You may also practise some vocabulary related to family ties here.


Future tenses can also be practised here


I've also come across this listening on weddings in America. My suggestions is that you listen to it for a couple of times without the transcript before having a look at it to check how much you understood!
