Another Song Activity

I just love music, I can't get enough of it! So, the other day I was planning a class for a student. We were finishing up one topic, Simple Present and Present Continuous, and about to start a new one, Future. While planning I was listening to music, I always do that, and I heard one song that caught my attention: Not There Yet by a Luisa Sobral, a singer from Portugal. It was exactly what I needed. The song has a mix of Simple Present and Future-WILL. It shows one of the uses of WILL which is the uncertainness of future actions. We often use the words MAYBE, PROBABLY, POSSIBLY and I THINK with the Future WILL because we are not sure if the action will happen or not.

Listen to the song, complete the gaps and then tell what you understood. Why does she use WILL?

The video was removed, so I'll leave here a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs1PUNzWy3M

Not there yet

By Luisa Sobral

I ______ a tree
I see a ___________
I see children ___________
Going inside and out

I _________ sunflowers
everywhere
And a big scarecrow
with a hat on his head

But I'm not there ______
But someday I'll ______
And I'm not there ______
We'll _________

Will you _________ me
To go inside
Will you hold me and _________
Will you lay down by my side
Be there _________ 'till we die

And you're not there _______
But someday you'll __________
And you're not there __________
We'll _______

Will we have a sunday picnic
Will the __________ wear blue and the girls wear pink
Will we _________ around the world
Will we make everybody watch our family slideshows

But we're not there _________
But someday we'll ________
And we're not there _________
We'll ________
And we're not there ________
Maybe we'll _________ ever be
And we're not there _________
We'll _______
