Tenses to describe line graphs showing data from past to future

Typically the graphs are presented with a past timeframe. However, sometimes you may have to report a graph in the future.

When you are presented with a line graph to analyze (or a bar graph if it is over time) you should always look carefully to check what time frame is being referred to.

NOTE: Line graph from past to future:

• Past simple: describe trends in the past. (90%)
• Future simple (will + V): describe trends in a period of time in the future. (10%)
• Future perfect (will + have + Vpp2): describe trends y a specific time in the future. (Read more)
• Passive: (be + Vpp2 to V).
• is/are expected to
• is/are set to
• is/are predicted that/to
• is/are anticipated that/to
• is/are likely to
• is/are likely to
• No time -> Simple present
