SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE

USAGE : Simple future tense is used to express a prediction or a plan that may or maynot happen in the future time.

KEY : Use /will/ or /shall/ to construct this tense.

Look at this following formation!



Verbal Simple Future Tense

USAGE : Verbal simple future tense is used when the verb is in lexical-meaning-word. Therefore, place Bare-Infinitive after the auxilliary will or shall.

For examples:




When the sentence is changed into negative sentence, place /not/ behind the auxilliary

For examples:

Will + not    => Will not or /won't/
shall + not    => shall not or /shan't/

She won't believe in what I say.
we shan't warn him for his mistakes.
The members will not attend the party next week.

Then, place the auxilliary when you want to make an interrogative sentence.

For examples:

Will you come along with us?
Shall we admit everything to them?

The answer will be like these:

Yes, I will.
No, I won't.

or,

Yes, we shall.
No, we shan't.


Nominal Simple Future Tense

USAGE : Nominal simple future tense is used when the verb is structural-meaning-word or /be/.

For examples:

She will be here on time.

Remember that you have to place non-verbs after /be/, they are:

1. Noun
2. Noun Phrase
3. Pronoun
4. adverb
5. Adjective

Place /not/ after will or shall and when you change it into interrogative, then place will or shall at the beginning of the sentence!

For Examples:

(+) Andi will be better soon.
(-) Andi will not (or, /won't/) be better soon.
(?) Will andi be better soon ?

BE GOING TO

Besides, /Be going to/ can substitute the functions or the position of /shall/ or /will/ in the sentence.

For examples:

She is going to go to the zoo next week.

The phrase /is going to/ is to express something 75% predicted will occur.
