    The simple future tense uses the modal auxiliary "will" followed by the main verb. It is used to talk about events that have not been planned or decided on yet. Some key points: 1) The structure is subject + will + main verb. Negative sentences use "will not" and questions invert the subject and auxiliary verb. 2) It indicates spontaneous decisions made at the time of speaking without a prior plan. 3) It is also used to make predictions about the future without a firm plan. 4) Even with a plan, "be" can use the simple future tense to talk about future states of being.

    Simple Future Tense

    The simple future tense is often called will, because we make the simple future tense with the modal auxiliary will.

    FIRST SCIENCE
    In PATRA DHARMA
    How do we make the Simple Future Tense?

    The structure of the simple future tense is:

    subject + auxiliary verb WILL + main verb


    invariable base
    will V1
    For negative sentences in the simple future 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 simple future 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?

     
    How do we use the Simple Future Tense?
    No Plan
    We use the simple future tense when there is no plan or decision to do something
    before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking. Look
    at these examples:

    • Hold on. I'll get a pen.


    • We will see what we can do to help you.
    • Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.

    In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at the
    time of speaking.

    We often use the simple future tense with the verb to think before it:

    • I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow.


    • I think I will have a holiday next year.
    • I don't think I'll buy that car.
    Prediction

    We often use the simple future tense to make a


    prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm
    plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here
    are some examples:

    • It will rain tomorrow.


    • People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd
    century.
    • Who do you think will get the job?
    Be
    When the main verb is be, we can use the
    simple future tense even if we have a firm plan
    or decision before speaking. Examples:

    • I'll be in London tomorrow.


    • I'm going shopping. I won't be very long.
    • Will you be at work tomorrow?
    When we use the simple future tense in
    speaking, we often contract the subject and
    auxiliary verb:

    I will - I'll
    you will - you'll
    he willhe'll
    she will - she'll
    it will - it'll
    we will - we'll
    they will - they'll
    For negative sentences in the simple future
    tense, we contract with won't, like this:

    I will not - I won't


    you will not - you won't
    he will not - he won't
    she will not - she won't
    it will not - it won't
    we will not - we won't
    they will not - nthey won't
