Grammar regarding future tenses

Hi guys,

today I have practiced my knowledge about the tenses in particular the future tenses. To get used to them I would like to write down some examples which I came up with. I would be delighted if somebody could give me a hand and correct these.

My train leaves at 7:15 pm. But I am meeting my friends before at the train station.
I hope I won't do that many mistakes with these sentences.
When I look outside I can't help myself but think that it's going to rain.
Just at this moment, I decided I will have to go to the fridge and get some tasty food. Normally I m not that hungry in the afternoon but today I have a dark mood. I look forward to reading my new book which I got yesterday.
I know that not all of my sentences are using a future but this will change with my next one. (How do I say in English that not all my sentences are "acting" in the future. I can't remember a fitting word.)

A friend of mine is visiting me in half an hour. I hope he will also bring his chessboard. I don't think that I will become a famous chess player. But sometimes I play like a genius so my friend often thinks I am going to be one.

Thank you for correcting :))

Normally I 'm not that hungry in the afternoon, but today I have a dark mood.

Would replace with "dark mood" with something else, since it is not clear what you mean. For example, "today I feel sad/disappointed/tired/lethargic/etc." or "today I am feeling down."

I know that not all of my sentences are using a futureuse the future tense, but this will change with my next one.

Can also be: A friend of mine is visiting (me) in half an hour.

But sometimes I play like a genius, so my friend often thinks I am going to be one.

To your question, you do just that in your sentence before it -- I just added a correction so that it reads correctly in terms of grammar!

thank you very much for your correction :)

Grammar regarding future tenses

You would simply write: The future tense.
or more complicated.
The grammatical structures of the future tense.

today I have practiced my knowledge about therevised the grammatical tenses, in particular, the future tenses.

'practiced my knowledge about' doesn't make sense but it would just be the word 'revised' if it did :)

To get used to them I would like to write down some examples whichthat I came up with.

'that I came up with earlier.'
'Here's one I made earlier' is a popular phrase in English, it goes back to TV shows about crafts, instead of filming someone painting a box for example they would just say 'Here is one i made earlier' and bring out a box that had been painted already.

I would be delighted if somebody could give me a hand and correct these.

give me a hand/help me out
both work.

My train leaves at 7:15 pm.

More formal = my train is scheduled to depart at 7:15pm

But I am meeting my friends before at the train station.

avoid starting a sentence with 'But', the same goes for starting a sentence with 'And'. It would be best to write: My train leaves at 7:15pm, but/and I will be meeting my friends before that at the train station.

But also implies that the train leaving at that time is a problem because you will be with your friends instead.

I hope I wdon't do thatmake too many mistakes within these sentences.

'I hope i don't mess up these sentences.' = Colloquial.
'Hopefully these sentences are grammatically correct.' = Neutral.

When I look outside, I can't help myself but think that it's going to rain.

Just at this moment, I decided I will have to go to the fridge and get some tasty food.

you would write 'will have to' if you have already mentioned being hungry.

Normally I m not that hungry in the afternoon but today I have a dark'm in a bad mood.

But today I'm in a weird mood.
But today I'm in a dark place. (mainly used for depression)
But today I'm starving for some reason. (potentially offensive to people who are actually starving but people say it anyway)

I'm looking forward to reading my new book which I got yesterday.

I know that not all of my sentences are using a future but this will change withwritten in the future tense but my next one will be.

(How do I say in English that not all my sentences are "acting" in the future. I can't remember a fitting word. )

not sure what you mean by 'acting'.. all of my sentences are hypothetical?

A friend of mine is visiting me in half an hour.

'in about half an hour' sounds more casual but your's works too!

I hope he will also brings his chessboard.

I don't think that I will ever become a famous chess player.

technically correct, ever makes it sound better!
or 'I doubt I'll ever be a famous chess player'
'I doubt I'll ever become a Grandmaster'

B, but sometimes I play like a genius so my friend often thinks I am going to become one.

haha. Same goes again for starting the sentence with 'But'.

I don't think that I will ever become a Grandmaster, but sometimes I play like a genius so my friend often thinks that I am one.

Thank you for correcting :))

no problem :)
Thanks for the corrections.
Thank you for correcting my work.

Well done :) Just be careful about starting a sentence with 'But'. Only the greatest authors in the world can get away with it and it's technically a rule. I added some alternatives to your sentences that sound a bit more natural. Keep it up!

That is a world-class correction that you put in here, as it really is helping me a lot due to your further examples. Thank you very much! I hope I will (will future because it's used for hopes :D) return you the favor as soon as possible.
