Introduction
There are a number of different ways of referring to the future in English. It is important to
remember that we are expressing more than simply the time of the action or event. Obviously,
any future tense will always refer to a time later than now, but it may also express our
attitude to the future event.

The simple future is composed of two parts: will / shall + the infinitive without 'to'. The
simple future refers to a time later than now, and expresses facts or certainty.

Uses of Future Simple

The simple future is used:
 To predict a future event that we don`t know for sure, but we think that it will
happen: example:

 It will rain tomorrow.

 With I or We, to express a spontaneous decision:

Example:

 I will pay for the tickets by credit card.

 To express willingness:

Example:

 He will carry your bag for you.

  I will do the washing-up.

 In the negative form, to express unwillingness:

Example:
 The baby will not eat his soup.
 I will not leave until I have seen the manager!

Future with Going to - function

The use of 'going to' to refer to future events suggests a very strong association with the
present. The time is not important - it is later than now, but the attitude is that the event
depends on a present situation, that we know about. So it is used:
 to refer to our plans and intentions:
Example:
 We were going to move to London next year. (= the plan is in our minds now.)
 to make predictions based on present evidence:
 Look at those clouds - it's going to pour with rain! (= It's clear from what I can see
now.)
Note: In everyday speech, 'going to' is often shortened to 'gonna', especially in American
English.
More examples:
Plans and intentions:
 Is Freddy going to buy a new car soon?
 Are John and Pam going to visit Milan when they are in Italy?
 I think Nigel and Mary are going to have a party next week.
Predictions based on present evidence:
 There is going to be a terrible accident!
 He is going to be a brilliant politician.
 I am going to have terrible indigestion.
NOTE: It is unusual to say 'I'm going to go to...'
Instead, we use 'going to' + a place or event:
Examples:
 We are going to the beach tomorrow.
 She is going to the ballet tonight.
 Are you going to the party tomorrow night?
Conclusion
Once I have done the work, it is importante to know the importance of having knowledge
about the topic being addressed, the future is something that creates perspectives on people
and they are always thinking about what to do tomorrow or at certain time in the future. It is
hoped that with the accomplishment of this work we will able to use the grammar time in this
case the future.
