Chwazi fòm fiti a : will, going to, continuous, perfect

An angle, pa gen yon sèl tan fiti. Gen yon ansanm fòm, e bon chwa a kominike yon bagay mo yo menm pa di. Kreyòl la gen pral (Mwen pral vini), va (M va vini) ak ap (M ap vini demen), tout san vèb la chanje : limit yo pa koresponn egzakteman ak sa will, going to ak present continuous.

Senk fòm endispansab

will + vèb — yon desizyon pran sou moman an ; òf èd, pwomès, prediksyon san baz reyèl

I'll get it. · It will probably rain.

going to + vèb — yon pwojè ki deside davans ak yon prediksyon ki baze sou siy ou ka wè

We're going to move in June. (nou deja deside)

Look at those clouds — it's going to pour. (nou wè l kounye a menm)

present continuous — yon aranjman fèm, anjeneral ak yon lòt moun

I'm meeting the client at four. (ekri nan ajanda)

present simple — orè yo

The train leaves at 6:40. · The conference starts on Monday.

future continuous (will be + -ing) — an kou nan yon moman nan fiti

This time tomorrow I'll be flying to Oslo.

future perfect (will have + patisip pase) — pral fini avan yon pwen nan fiti

By December we'll have completed the migration.

Twa lòt fòm ak sans presi

be about to — sou pwen, nan minit k ap vini yo.

Don't call now — they're about to start.

be due to — planifye pa yon moun deyò, souvan ak lide ke sa ka chanje.

The report is due to be published in May.

be to + vèb — yon dispozisyon oswa yon aranjman fòmèl, komen nan anons ak jounal.

All staff are to report to reception. · The Prime Minister is to visit Berlin.

future perfect continuous — depi konbyen tan yon bagay pral dire nan yon moman bay.

By June I'll have been working here for ten years.

Fiti nan pase

Lè nou gade lavni depi yon pwen nan pase, chak fòm bese yon degre :

• I was going to call you, but I ran out of time. (yon pwojè ki pa t reyalize)
• She said she would be late. (will → would)
• We were about to leave when the phone rang.

Was going to patikilyèman itil : se fason estanda pou dekri yon entansyon ki pa t bay anyen.

Diferans ki pote sans

will ak going to — ki lè desizyon an te pran ?

The phone's ringing. — I'll answer it. (mwen deside kounye a)

Why are you holding the phone? — I'm going to call Ana. (mwen te deside avan)

going to ak present continuous — entansyon kont aranjman.

I'm going to see the dentist. (mwen gen entansyon)

I'm seeing the dentist at nine. (li ekri nan ajanda)

Future continuous kòm delikatès. Se yon pwosede nan rejis pwofesyonèl :

Will you be joining us? sonnen pi dous pase Will you join us? — nou mande plan yo olye de egzije yon angajman.

Ki jan pou grade sètitid la

Advèb yo mete apre will e avan won't — yon ti règ pozisyon moun bite fasil sou li.

Sètitid	Egzanp
wo	It will definitely be ready.
pwobab	It'll probably be ready.
pa twò pwobab	It probably won't be ready. (pa « won't probably »)
pridan	It may well be delayed.

Apre mo tan yo, pa gen fòm fiti

when, as soon as, before, after, until, once mande prezan an, menm lè nou pale de fiti. Kreyòl la fè menm bagay la (Lè m rive, m ap rele ou), kidonk sa abitye ou.

❌ I'll call you when I will arrive. ✅ I'll call you when I arrive.

Chwazi selon siyal la, pa selon moman an — nenpòt nan fòm sa yo ka dekri madi pwochen. Sa ki chanje se lòt bagay : èske w ap anonse yon desizyon, rapòte yon rezèvasyon, site yon orè oswa adousi yon demann ?

Presize yon deplasman

A: Are you coming to the Berlin office next week?

B: I'm flying out Tuesday — the flight leaves at seven. I was going to come Monday, but it got too expensive.

A: Will you be seeing the client while you're there?

B: Probably. By Friday I'll have met most of the team.

Yon aranjman, yon orè, yon pwojè ki pa reyalize, yon kesyon plen delikatès ak yon future perfect — senk fòm pou yon sèl vwayaj.

Teste sa ou fèk li a

Tès ki anba a repoze sou diferans yo, pa sou fòm yo menm.
