Different ways to use the Future

 We are about to practice something that I enjoy immensely:

The old, overused yet reliable "to be going to" shouldn't be the only option for students who want to feel like they are actually improving their language, enhancing their power of communication, thus (thus: as a consequence) gaining respect and strengthening the company/client link and relationship.

Sometimes it is just BORING to listen to the same construction over and over again.

Let's remember the interesting and important different ways of using the future:

First option- we omit "going":

I am  going  TO wait for his feedback.

I am             TO wait for his feedback.

Second option- we omit "going" and use BOUND, for situations that we are sure are to happen in the future, or are likely to happen:

I am  going   TO receive a great feedback. (and I am sure -or it is likely that - I am going to receive it).

I am  bound  TO receive a great feedback.

Third option- we omit "going" and use SET, for situations where we are ready to do something:

I am  going   TO wait for his feedback. (and I am ready to wait for it)

I am    set     TO wait for his feedback.

Fourth option- we omit "going" and use DUE, for situations where we are expected to do something:

I am  going   TO wait for his feedback. (and I am expected to wait)

I am    due    TO wait for his feedback.

Another detail is when we omit "going" and add ABOUT. This is for a very near future- something that can happen any time soon:

Let's not start another unit- our class is   going  TO end soon.

...Therefore: Our class is   about   TO end. (I don't need soon anymore- the idea of a near future in within about.)
