THERE IS y THERE ARE

  will / acciones habituales o rutinas Una de las primeras cosas que se suele aprender en inglés es el uso del presente simple para las rutinas diarias.  Sin embargo, cuando hablamos de manera relajada, los nativos angloparlantes a menudo utilizamos la forma contraída de  will ,  ‘ll , para hablar de nuestras acciones habituales.  Normalmente se trata de comentar varias cosas una tras otra, por ejemplo: Well, on Saturdays I’ll get up a bit later than usual around 9 and I’ll have breakfast – usually a cup of tea and some toast – and I’ll read the newspaper.  Around midday I’ll go for a run and when I get back, I’ll have a shower and get dressed.  In the afternoon I’ll maybe meet up with some friends and we’ll either go shopping or go to the cinema or just hang out.  I’ll end up going to bed a bit later than during the week but not too late.

Se utiliza  Will you  …..? para hacer peticiones y  will  o  ‘ll  (la forma contraída) para responder a éstas, por ejemplo: Will you turn the music down, please? ¿Bajas el volumen de la música, por favor? Of course, I’ll do it straight away. Por supuesto, lo hago/haré enseguida.

Most students of English will associate and not with the future even if they do not have the most usual way of talking about the future. In the post The future in English: how and when to use will, going to the present, I explained continuously the different uses of will in the future; in this I will highlight the uses of will and not in the present. In present? Yes. It will not be used and will not only refer to the future but also sometimes occasions in the present.
