Future in the Past
Like Simple Future, Future in the Past has two different forms in English: "would" and "was going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two different meanings.
FORM Would
[would + VERB]
Examples:
I knew you would help him.
I knew you would not help him.
FORM Was/Were Going To
[was/were + going to + VERB]
Examples:
I knew you were going to go to the party.
I knew you were not going to go to the party.
USE 1 Future in Past
Future in the Past is used to express the idea that in the past you thought something would happen in the future. It does not matter if you are correct or not. Future in the Past follows the same basic rules as the Simple Future. "Would" is used to volunteer or promise, and "was going to" is used to plan. Moreover, both forms can be used to make predictions about the future.
Examples:
I told you he was going to come to the party. plan
I knew Julie would make dinner. voluntary action
Jane said Sam was going to bring his sister with him, but he came alone. plan
I had a feeling that the vacation was going to be a disaster. prediction
He promised he would send a postcard from Egypt. promise

Past Future Continous, Past Future Perfect, Past Future Perfect Continous are seldom used, the forms are just the same as present future but you must change "wiill" into "would", "shall" into "should".
Aren't they easy? Let's see soon yaa.....
