Today and the Future

Worksheet Description

This worksheet contains sentence stems that are focused on the theme of time, specifically the present (“Today”), the near future (“Tomorrow”), and the distant future (“In the future”). Students are instructed to finish the sentences, providing them with the opportunity to consider what actions or events are currently taking place, what they anticipate will happen the next day, and their aspirations or expectations for the long term. The worksheet is designed to engage students in thinking about different temporal contexts and to articulate their thoughts about activities or goals associated with each. The use of different time frames encourages students to reflect on the continuity of time and their place within it.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the use of tenses in English, particularly the present continuous for immediate actions and the future tense for upcoming events and long-term plans. It helps students differentiate between actions taking place at different times and to appropriately convey these differences through verb tenses. By completing these sentences, students also practice expressing personal intentions and predictions, enhancing their ability to communicate about time-related concepts. Additionally, the task encourages the use of temporal adverbs and phrases, expanding students’ linguistic resources for discussing time.
