Future Simple Tense
I will sing |
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?
Thestructure of the future simple tense is:
subject | + | auxiliary verb WILL | + | main verb |
| invariable | | base |
| will | | V1 |
For negative sentences in the future simple tense, weinsert 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:
Iwill | 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 contractwith 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 | theywon't |
