Imagine you are planning a future vacation.

Write a paragraph (7-10 sentences) using the future tense. You must use the simple future tense, the future perfect, the future progressive and the future perfect progressive at least once. Also write a future prediction and use the present progressive or simple present to express the future as well. Highlight the tenses used.

When I go on vacation, I will go to the Bahamas. But before I go to the Bahamas, I will pack my bags and prepare to go on to the plane that will fly me there. After I pack my bags, I will go into the car and drive to the airport. And after that, I will wait.
I will wait a very long time, because the plane has been delayed.
...

I'm still waiting.

I didn't see this coming in my plan, but here we are.

Sitting on the bench.

Waiting.

Once I am done sitting on this bench, I will get onto the plane.

But the plane is still delayed.

So therefore, I will sit on the bench.

I did not plan this.

Sitting on the bench next to a bunch of strangers is not how I wanted to spend my time.

I planned to go to the Bahamas and relax on the beach with a fruity coconut drink and a little umbrella.

But here I am, on the bench.

And I will sit and plan some more.

Maybe daydreaming will help me pass the time.

I will daydream.

Because the sun will be on my face, and the sand will be in between my toes, and I will not have to worry about this stuffy work outfit for at least three weeks.
I will have my fruity coconut drink with it's tiny umbrella, and I will NOT worry about my flight being delayed.

Because when I go on vacation, I will be in the Bahamas.
