Hey, Lindsay, how are you? Hey there, Aubrey. Doing well, doing well. What about you?
I've been thinking about the future a little bit lately, mostly because I watched Pluribus on Apple TV. Have you seen that yet, Lindsay? I know I recommended it.
I know it's on my list.
You need to watch it. I can't wait to talk to you about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's on our list. It's on our list.
But I am wondering, what about you? Do you often think about the future?
Or do you live in the moment more? Yeah, I do. So when we took StrengthsFinder, one of my top five strengths, quote unquote, was, I don't know if it's called futurist or futuristic, but I do think a lot. I feel like I spend a lot of time thinking about the future, kind of. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, interesting. Some people do and some people less a little bit. But we got a great question from Pei Yao in our community, one of our amazing students. And we're going to dive into grammar a little bit answering her amazing question.
Yeah. And by the way, if you're wondering what the community is, when you join any one of our courses, you get automatic access and membership in our community where you can ask questions about your course, connect with other students, find out the schedule for live speaking events and other things like that.
What common mistakes do English learners make with future tense?
Yes, it's an amazing community, supportive, active, so many awesome students. Hopefully all of you out there will have a chance to join, take a course so that you can join the community and get to know all of these amazing members.
Yeah, and I love that Payal asked this question, I guess, was it based on an episode?
Yes, it was about an All Ears English episode.
Okay, so here's the question. I wonder why Lindsay said, we'll see what happens instead of we'll see what will happen on the podcast. Can you please explain? I love this question. I'm not surprised we got this question. It's a great one, Aubrey.
Yes. And Peyo is always asking amazing questions, diving into the grammar and the why of things. And this is a great one. So I'm excited to answer this question here today with you guys and give you all of the specifics because we do, whether you think a lot about the future or not, we often use the future tense in this way.
Oh, for sure. It's a very common chunk, right? We'll see what happens. So break down the grammar for us, Aubrey. Let's do the hard part first.
Yes, right. So the top line present tense is used in subordinate clauses when the main clause is in the future tense. even though both actions refer to the future.
