1043 - How To Talk About the Future

About this episode

This episode clarifies the differences between using 'going to have', 'having', and 'will have' when talking about the future in English.

We’re going to have a meeting tomorrow. We’re having a meeting tomorrow. Maybe we’ll have a meeting tomorrow. All three of these sentences talk about the future… but they don’t feel exactly the same. So what’s the difference? If you’ve ever wondered when to use “going to have,” "having", or “will have,” today’s podcast English lesson is going to make this really clear.
