E6 G - Tomorrow and next week – Zukunftsangaben nutzen

Einleitung

Tomorrow? Next weekend? Next week? In this aiMOOC you use easy time expressions for the future. You say what you are going to do and add a simple time expression.

Mini goal: Connect a future sentence with tomorrow, next weekend or next week.

English first. German help is always close.

Media warm-up: Listen for the days of the week. You do not need every word.

I can ...

I can understand tomorrow, next weekend and next week.
I can put a time expression at the end of a short future sentence.
I can ask and answer a simple question about a plan.
I can write three short sentences about future plans.

Before you start: Quick check

Try English first: Which words talk about the future?

Hint: Think of a calendar.

German help: Welche Wörter zeigen auf eine spätere Zeit?

Example: today → now

Solution: tomorrow, next weekend, next week → future

Choose the useful time expression.	Meaning
tomorrow	the day after today
next weekend	the coming weekend
next week	the week after this week

Notice

Look at these short plans:

I’m going to ride my bike tomorrow.

We’re going to have a picnic next weekend.

Mia is going to practise English next week.

The time expression tells you when.

Today, the time expression is the star. You do not need to compare different future forms.

Two small rules

Use tomorrow, not on tomorrow.
Use next week and next weekend, not in next week or in next weekend.

German help: Vor tomorrow und next ... steht hier keine Präposition.

Understand

Picture input

Look and say:

I’m going to ride my bike tomorrow.

Hint: Start with: I’m going to ...

Look and say:

We’re going to have a picnic next weekend.

Listen: future time expressions

Listening job: Listen for tomorrow and next week. You can stop after you hear both.

Try English first: What comes after the action?

Hint: It is a time expression.

German help: Höre auf das Zeitwort am Satzende.

Example: I’m going to study tomorrow.

Solution: The time expression often comes at the end in our model sentences.
