| Bart: You shouldn’t demand so much. I’ll call the travel agency to confirm the trip. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: Okay, so in this conversation and the conversation in the last lesson, we heard about people going on overseas vacations. |
| Chesney: We did. |
| Becky: But what about having a vacation in South Africa? When’s the best time to go? |

| Chesney: It starts in December, but for foreigners that are used to the cold, you can book from the end of June. |

Lesson focus |
| Becky: The focus of this lesson is the future tense. |
| Chesney: We use this to speak about future actions and events. |
| Becky: How do we use the future tense in Afrikaans? |
| Chesney: There are three ways of expressing the future in Afrikaans. |
| Becky: Okay. What’s the first way? |
| Chesney: The first is to use the present tense. |
| Becky: How do we use the present tense to show the future? |
| Chesney: By adding an adverb that shows the future. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example? |
| Chesney: Sure! Sy kom môre. |
| Becky: This means “She will come tomorrow.” |
| Chesney: The second way is to use the verb gaan. |
| Becky: This shows intention, just like the English “going to” does in the English future tense. |
| Chesney: For example, Ek gaan dit later doen. |
| Becky: “I’m going to do it in a while.” |
| Chesney: Or Wanneer gaan jy die boek lees? |
| Becky: “When are you going to read that book?” |
| Chesney: The third way of showing the future is to use the verb sal. |
| Becky: What’s this used for? |
| Chesney: Sal is often used for promises, or to show that something is inevitable. |
| Becky: Oh, so it’s a little similar to using “will” in the English future tense. Can you give us some examples? |
| Chesney: Ek sal dit môre doen. |
| Becky: “I’ll do it tomorrow.” |
| Chesney: Ons sal dit nou doen. |
| Becky: “We’ll do it now.” |
