 The Simple Future Tense
(or future with will)

The simple future tense is very easy to make and is very useful. 
Here's the positive form (it's just 'will' + infinitive):

 I will meet him later (I'll ..)

 You will come (you'll..)
 It will rain tomorrow (it'll)
 She will be late (she'll..)
 He will help us later (he'll..)
 We will get married in September (we'll)
 They will cook dinner (they'll..)

The short form: 'll is very, very common, and is almost always used when speaking. It's
really much more natural to say 'I'll' instead of 'I will'. Here's some help with the
pronunciation:

 I'll meet him later

 You'll come

 It'll rain tomorrow

 She'll be late

 He'll help us later

 We'll get married in September

 They'll cook dinner

Next, here's the negative form (just add 'not' - remember will not = won't):

 I will not go (I won't ..)

 You will not be late (you won't ..)
 It will not snow tomorrow (it won't..)
 She will not get the job (she won't..)
 He will not pass the exam (he won't ..)
 We will not come (we won't..)
 They will not stop (they won't ..)
 Finally, here's the question:

'yes / no' questions:

 Will I go?
 Will you come early?
 Will it be cold?
 Will she dance?
 Will he arrive soon?
 Will we cook?
 Will they leave?

'wh' questions:

 Where will I go?

 Why will you come early?
 When will it be cold?
 Who will she dance with?
 What time will he arrive?
 What will we cook?
 When will they leave?
When should I use the Future Simple?

Will
1: We use the future simple with ‘will’ to predict the future. It is the basic way we talk about

the future in English, and we often use it if there is no reason to use another future tense. We

can use it for future facts and for things that are less certain.

 The sun will rise at 7am.

 I think the Conservatives will win the next election.

2: Promises / requests / refusals / offers.. It’s about wanting to do something or not wanting to do
something in the future.

 I'll help you with your homework.

 Will you give me a hand?

 I won’t go!

In a similar way, we often use ‘will’ when we’re talking about a decision at the moment of

speaking. We are usually making an offer or promise or talking about something that we want

to do.

 A: I'm cold. B: I'll close the window.

3: We use the simple future with ‘will’ in the first conditional, and in other sentences that

have a conditional feeling.

 If it doesn’t rain, we’ll go to the park.

 Let’s arrive early. That will give us time to relax.

Shall
'Shall' is used mainly in the forms 'shall I?' and 'shall we?' in British English. These forms are

used when you want to get someone's opinion, especially for offers and suggestions.

 Shall I open the window? (= Do you want me to open the window?)

 Where shall we go tonight? (= What's your opinion?)

Be going to
1: We often use ‘be going to’ to talk about our future intentions and plans. We have usually

made our plans before the moment of speaking.

 A: We've run out of milk. B: I know, I'm going to buy some.

2: We can also use ‘be going to’ to make a prediction about the future. Often it’s possible to

use both ‘be going to’ and ‘will’ but it’s more common to use ‘be going to’ if we can see

evidence in the present.

 Look at those boys playing football! They're going to break the window.

 The sky is getting darker and darker. It’s going to rain.
