How to use the future in the past - English In A Minute - YouTube

Sometimes we want to talk about something we thought

would happen in the future at a point in the past.

We'll look at how to do this now.

To do this, we use past versions of future forms.

'Will' becomes 'would'.

Yesterday I said I would go to the park.

'Going to' becomes 'was going to'. Like this:

The last time I saw you,

you were going to start a new job. What's it like?

The present continuous becomes the past continuous.

Last week you were visiting your family

the day after I saw you. How did it go?

So to recap:

'will' becomes 'would',

'going to' becomes 'was going to'

and the present continuous

becomes the past continuous.

At the start,

I said we'd look at how to talk about the

future in the past. And now we have.

Bye!
