Grammar Tip
Future Simple. Use # 6: "Will" or "Be Going to" to Express a Prediction
Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the future. Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future. In "prediction" sentences, the subject usually has little control over the future and therefore USES 1-3 (see previous tips) do not apply. In the following examples, there is no difference in meaning.
Example: The year 2222 will be a very interesting year.- 2222 год будет очень интересным.
Example: The year 2222 is going to be a very interesting year.- 2222 год будет очень интересным.
Business Communication Skills Tip
Making Requests. Tip #2 Making more than one request in a letter or email
If you make two requests in a letter or email, the second request should include the word “also”, as we can see here:
Dear Mr Smith
I recently saw an advertisement for your new range of kitchen equipment. I own a small retail shop selling household goods and am interested in buying some of your new products. Could you therefore please send me your price list? [first request]
I would also be grateful if you could include details of delivery and postage. [second request, with also]
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Remember to put the word “please” at the end of a request. If you put it in the middle like this – “Could you please send me the report by Friday?”- it sounds more like an order to do something.
