Future tense

[justjack21]

In your dream world, what would you be doing for the rest of your life?

[Lovinit]

Still dreamin probably

[dilligaf]

If I told you, my answer would be censored.


Don't think I would have the energy anyway!

[mattie]

I would have enough money to live on without working and would spend the rest of my life spending more time with my family and enjoying myself, in that order.

I would spend years showing my boys every last inch of the planet, so that they could say they'd seen it, and so that I could hand-pick my perfect sunny corner to retire in when the time came. Then I'd pull up my comfy chair in the garden, do crosswords, drink gin, and eat fresh pineapple, marmite on toast and plain chocolate every day, surrounded by a multitude of grandchildren.

And I would build a tree-house, complete with swimming pool and trampoline. (In my dream world, this would of course be possible...)

There! That's all within reach.... isn't it?! :)

Growing my own vegetables, and making my own cider from my own little orchard.


*Hic !!*

Thanks heaps guys! I had an assignment to write one page describing where I would be in the future if absolutely anything were possible, my friend wrote that he would take over the world, after that I was lost for ideas. You all helped heaps! Sounds like a wierd assignment (more suited to maybe a 10 year old) I know but we had to use future tense and write it in German so I guess thats where the challenge lies. Thanks again! My future looks pretty now!

For bonus marks - try and get in some use of the future perfect tense;

"In 10 years time, I will have run a marathon, I will have made a million, and will have visited the Hanging Gardens of Baylon."
