Spoken English future tense, plus IFAK vocabulary

The future tense in English can be produced in two ways:

1. With will. For example: I will bring you a tourniquet.
2. With going to. For example: I am going to bring you a tourniquet.

Simple, right? Not in the spoken language. When these are said, many contractions are used. These are common ways of saying the future tense:

1. I’ll bring you a tourniquet.
2. He’ll bring you a tourniquet.
3. Kevin’ll bring you a tourniquet.
4. I’m goin’ to bring you a tourniquet.
5. Kevin’s goin’ to bring you a tourniquet.
6. I’m gonna bring you a tourniquet.
7. Kevin’s gonna bring you a tourniquet.
