In this lesson, you'll practice how to make a promise in English

with both infinitive and future simple tense phrases.

Let's look at the main dialogue.

Two people are having a conversation.

It's a pity it didn't work out yesterday.

If you want to do over, next Saturday I'm cooking dinner for some friends.

Are you in?

I promise that I'll make it this time.

What do you want to make?

I haven't made up my mind yet. Maybe chili and cornbread? My cornbread

is really good, I have to say. In this dialogue, this character says, I promise that I'll make it this

time. She does this using the sentence structure of I promise plus that plus a future simple verb phrase. The future simple

verb here is will make. However, there is also another way of promising to do something, which is,

I promise plus an infinitive verb phrase, like to go to the store or to play some golf. Let's practice with this grammar more in this lesson.
