Looking Ahead: Exploring the Future Tense for Class 4

This worksheet introduces students to the future tense using “will,” “shall,” and “going to.” With contextual sentence clues, picture prompts, and error correction tasks, learners build confidence in expressing intentions, predictions, and plans for the future.

Why Future Tense Matters in Grammar?

Understanding future tense helps learners:
1. Talk about upcoming actions and events with clarity.
2. Differentiate between planned actions (going to) and spontaneous decisions (will).
3. Use modal verbs “shall” and “will” in offers, predictions, and promises.
4. Improve story writing and personal expression through tense variety.
