Common means easy to understand, not difficult. Another word for ways is methods or approaches etc. I would use example sentences as my method, by giving example sentences and asking a student to share one of their own examples to see if they understand. I would also say a sentence and ask them to express future intentions with the sentence given. Breaking it down into smaller pieces and making it easy to understand. Example 1. I will (I will visit my family tomorrow) Example 2. I am going to (I am going to visit my family tomorrow) Example 3. Which is the present continuous tense - Which can be used for a confirmed future arrangement (I am visiting my family on Friday) When we talk about the future, these are all things that have not happened yet, but we intentionally plan for these things to happen. When we use the words, I will and I am going to, it means that there is certainty in it, it will definitely happen. This is expressing future intentions.
you can use words like. I will I want for example, I will go to London I want to learn English
By using words like (going to, will and present continuous tense.

Hello! I AM GOING TO eat later. I WILL eat later. I WILL BE EATING later.
1. Using "Will" + a base verb e.g. " I will help you paint the house.' 2. Use "Going to be" + a base verb e.g. "I am going to join a new team next week." 3. Using the present continuous tense (be + verb) " I am meeting Kathy tomorrow."

Hi there, I am also new here! I think the students have to choose you. When you get your first student here, make sure that you are 100% prepared, so they can choose you again. I know that you almost never know what to expect but what I do know is that you must always be calm and go with the flow, be confident and authentic. Good luck ladies, we are in the same boat. I know that with a positive mindset we can achieve anything. I have also started reading through Tutor studio, there is allot of useful information there.

A concrete noun is an actual, physical object such as a house, a dog, or an apple. Whereas, an abstract noun is an idea, quality or state such as love, truth, or happiness.
