Talking About the Future at A2 Level

Everybody has plans, hopes, and dreams, and even A2 speakers can share theirs. These 50 questions invite adult learners to talk about tomorrow's plans, weekend intentions, holiday wishes, and life goals using the simple future structures that are among the first they learn in English.

Vocabulary stays practical and motivating: words like 'plan', 'hope', 'dream', 'travel', 'learn', and 'change' combine with key structures like 'I want to...', 'I am going to...', 'I hope to...', and 'next year, I will...' that give A2 adults the scaffolding they need to express future intentions clearly.

Why Future Talk Motivates A2 Adults

Talking about the future is inherently optimistic, which makes it energising for adult learners who are often studying English as part of their own future plans. An A2 student who can say 'I want to travel to Canada next year' is practising grammar and sharing a genuine aspiration simultaneously. That personal connection drives learning in ways that gap-fill exercises cannot.

Using Future Questions in Class

Pair students and let them exchange future plans for two to three minutes per question. The personal nature of the topic means conversation flows naturally. YapYapGo handles question selection and timing, ensuring every pair gets fresh, level-appropriate prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grammar structures do these questions practise?▾

The questions naturally elicit 'going to' for plans, 'want to' for desires, 'will' for predictions, and 'hope to' for aspirations. All four structures are A2 essentials.

Will students have enough vocabulary to talk about future plans?▾

Yes. The questions focus on everyday plans and personal goals rather than abstract predictions. Students use vocabulary they already know about daily life, work, and travel to express future intentions.

Can I use future questions with complete beginners?▾

These are designed for A2 speakers who have covered basic future forms. For complete beginners, consider starting with present tense topics like family or food and returning to future plans after introducing 'going to' and 'want to'.
