Funktioner

Udvidet fremtid henviser til en uafsluttet handling eller hændelse, der vil foregå i en tid senere end nu. Udvidet fremtid bruges på flere forskellige måder.

Udvidet fremtid kan bruges til at forestille os selv i fremtiden.

Eksempler
  • This time next week I will be sun-bathing in Bali.
  • By Christmas I will be skiing like a pro.
  • Just think, next Monday you will be working in your new job.

Udvidet fremtid kan bruges til at forudsige eller gætte om fremtidige hændelser.

Eksempler
  • He'll be coming to the meeting, I expect.
  • I guess you'll be feeling thirsty after working in the sun.

Udvidet fremtid kan bruges til at henvise til kontinuerlige hændelser, som vi forventer vil ske i fremtiden.

Eksempler
