This was a well-presented unit. I found it to be very informative, it has cleared up many doubts that I had about Teaching the future tense, especially the differences between using going to and will.I also enjoyed the games that are presented in the video to teach the future tense.I find this to be a unit that deals with finer aspects of the English language, which I find refreshing. This is the type of detail that rightly rounds off the basics of Learning the English language. I shall find this unit most helpful in the future.
