30 00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:31,020 For five days, I'm dreading it, I'll be staying in a tiny hotel room with my colleague who thought 31 00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:34,880 that having a business conference in July is a great idea. 32 00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:44,760 So here we have a question using the future continuous tense, how long will you be staying there? 33 00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:55,530 And you'll notice that we use you between the will and the B, and so that subject in the question form, 34 00:02:55,890 --> 00:03:04,590 it's placed between Will and B, how long will you be staying there or how long will Don be staying 35 00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:04,880 there? 36 00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:06,720 How long will she be staying there? 37 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,300 Whatever the subject of that question is. 38 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:14,570 The second use of it in this example is I'll be staying. 39 00:03:15,290 --> 00:03:16,460 I'll be staying. 40 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,300 I'll is a contraction of I will oh, we will be staying. 41 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:26,300 This is that future continuous tense. 42 00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:32,840 OK, and you can see in these examples, they're giving us these time frames in the future for five 43 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,380 days. 44 00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:35,930 I'll be staying there for five days. 45 00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:43,400 But the future continuous is implying that this action, the duration is happening for these whole five 46 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,070 days in the future. 47 00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:54,200 In this Granma refresh, we'll be looking at the use of the phrase AFTA, they have to. 48 00:03:55,290 --> 00:04:04,020 So this race or these two words put together have to it means something that is required, something 49 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:04,950 we have to do. 50 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,790 It's more than something you should do. 51 00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:09,990 Not a suggestion. 52 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,610 It's something that you are required and necessary to do. 53 00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:18,890 Now you can see that it can mean something that you. 54 00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:27,510 Are required to do it, but a lot of times people will use it in a question to ask about something because 55 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:29,250 they don't want to do it. 56 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,100 Let's see how this works in our examples. 57 00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:36,270 The first example, you're going to be helping me out with cooking. 58 00:04:37,890 --> 00:04:39,480 Do we really have to cook? 59 00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:41,640 Why not just order takeout? 60 00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:47,160 And so you can see in this example, the person is using it in a question. 61 00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:50,010 I mean, they don't want to do it. 62 00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:52,050 Why can't we just do something else? 63 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:52,330 Right. 64 00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:56,700 So the person is saying, you're going to be helping me with cooking. 65 00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,400 And the other person is saying, do we really have to cook or do we have to cook? 66 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:11,100 That's meaning I don't want to cook what's it called, let's get out of here, we're using it in a way 67 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:14,010 to suggest something we don't want to do. 68 00:05:15,070 --> 00:05:22,600 In the next example, it says, I'll have to work as a waiter at my parents place this summer and they 69 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,310 haven't found anyone to fill the hours, and so I'll have to work. 70 00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:31,680 So this means they have to work as a waiter, right? 71 00:05:32,010 --> 00:05:33,060 They don't have a choice. 72 00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:33,940 It's necessary. 73 00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:39,820 I'll have to work now when you hear people say this phrase right. 74 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:43,170 A lot of times the V in have. 75 00:05:44,170 --> 00:05:52,120 Isn't very clear, and sometimes it's kind of an F sound, so one common mistake is people will write 76 00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:55,750 f h a l f, right. 77 00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:56,530 So. 78 00:05:57,670 --> 00:06:03,580 Make sure you understand that even though the sound kind of comes across when you're speaking, it is 79 00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:04,150 have. 80 00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:10,540 And hear the F sound, sort of.
