Planning Future Habits
When discussing future habits and routines, we combine future structures (will/going to) with frequency expressions (usually, always, regularly). This helps us talk about planned lifestyle changes and new routines we want to develop.
Basic Structure
will/going to + usually/always + verb
Example: I'm going to usually exercise in the morning.
Example: I'm going to usually exercise in the morning.
Getting Used to New Routines
When discussing adapting to new habits, use 'get used to + -ing' or 'be used to + -ing'
Example: I will get used to waking up early.
Example: I will get used to waking up early.
Examples
I'm going to usually study for two hours after dinner.Shows a planned regular routine using 'going to' for future intention
She will always take her vitamins with breakfast.Uses 'will' to express a future habit commitment
We're going to get used to eating more vegetables.Combines future intention with adaptation to a new habit
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Incorrect: I will used to exercise more.
✅ Correct: I will get used to exercising more.
Explanation: 'Used to' is for past habits only; use 'get used to' for future adaptation
❌ Incorrect: I'm going usually to study.
✅ Correct: I'm going to usually study.
Explanation: Frequency adverbs should come after 'going to' but before the main verb
