| Verb tenses : Simple Future |
|
| Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." | ||
| The simple future refers to a time later than now, and
expresses facts or certainty. In this case there is no 'attitude'. The simple future is used: a. to predict a future event: It will rain tomorrow. b. (with I/we) to express a spontaneous decision: I will pay for the tickets by credit card. c. to express willingness: I will do the washing-up. He will carry your bag for you. d. (in the negative form) to express unwillingness: The baby will not eat his soup.............. |
||
| We form the simple future by using: - Subject + will + Infinitive - Subject + Going to + Infinitive Example 1: I will learn We will learn You will learn You will learn He/She will learn They will learn Example 2: I am going to travel We are going to travel You are going to travel You are going to travel He/She is going to travel They are going to travel |
NB: we usually change: I will by I'll , and I will not by I won't.
