Future Simple Tense
The future simple tense is often called will, because we make the future simple tense with the modal auxiliary will.
How do we make the Future Simple Tense?
The structure of the future simple tense is:subject | + | auxiliary verb WILL | + | main verb |
invariable | base | |||
will | V1 |
For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary verb. Look at these example sentences with the future simple tense:
subject | auxiliary verb | main verb | |||
+ | I | will | open | the door. | |
+ | You | will | finish | before me. | |
- | She | will | not | be | at school tomorrow. |
- | We | will | not | leave | yet. |
? | Will | you | arrive | on time? | |
? | Will | they | want | dinner? |
When we use the future simple tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:
I will | I'll |
you will | you'll |
he will she will it will | he'll she'll it'll |
we will | we'll |
they will | they'll |
For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we contract with won't, like this:
I will not | I won't |
you will not | you won't |
he will not she will not it will not | he won't she won't it won't |
we will not | we won't |
they will not | they won't |
The interrogative form of the simple future:
Will | I, you, he, she, it, we, they | go? |
---|
Examples:
- Will you buy a computer?
- Will you go to the party?
the second time to refer us to the time future is the future idiomatic
