Will vs. Be Going To: Understanding Future Forms
English has two common ways to talk about the future: will and be going to. While both express future actions or events, their use depends on the context and the type of future we're discussing.

Present Continuous for Future Arrangements
The present continuous is commonly used to discuss the future, particularly for definite plans or arrangements that have been made with others. These plans typically include a time and/or place, and we often use a future time expression (e.g., tomorrow, next week, at 7).

Essential Relative Clauses
Essential relative clauses (also called defining relative clauses) provide important information that specifies exactly which person, thing, or place we are referring to. Without this information, the sentence's meaning would be incomplete.

Understanding the Present Perfect Tense
The Present Perfect tense is used to describe actions or situations that have connections with the present. It links the past with the present moment, either because the event has just happened, is still relevant now, or has an effect on the current situation. The structure consists of the verb have + the past participle of the main verb. For regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the past simple (typically ending in -ed), while irregular verbs follow a different form (e.g., "go" → "gone").

Indefinite Pronouns: Something, Anything, Nothing, etc.

Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Too, Too Much, Too Many, Enough

Quantifiers: much, many, little, few, some, any
