 FUTURE TENSE
Future Tense always indicates a time later than the present. In other words, it is
used to denote an action that is expected to take place in the future.

What is Future Tense?

Future Tense depicts an action that happens in the future or is likely to happen in
the future. It may also express the speaker’s attitude to a future event.

Examples
Future Tense may be used in various
situations such as:
 Prediction:- There will be rain tomorrow..
 Arrangements:- I am visiting his house tomorrow.
 Plans:- I am going to do an internship in May.
 An action in progress :- This time next month, I will be in London.
 Fixed Routine:- He shall attend the lecture tomorrow, right?
Types
There are types of tenses that fall under
the Future Tense. They are:
1. Simple Future Tense
The Simple Future Tense denotes an action that will take place in the future. It
expresses facts and certainty. This tense is used:

 To predict an event in the future. For example,

The uncle will come home tomorrow.

 To express willingness. For example,
His brother will carry the suitcase for you.
  To give orders. For example,
You will do what I tell you to do.
You will do what I tell you to do.
 To invite. For example,
  Will you sing along?
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t
happened yet.

This year, Jen will read War and Peace. It will be hard, but she’s determined to do
it.
Use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in
the future.

How to Form the Simple Future

The formula for the simple future is

Subj+ will/shall + V1. Example,

I will learn a new language.

Muluna  will read that book.
It doesn’t matter if the subject is singular or plural; the formula for the simple
future doesn’t change. BUT

USES IN BE GOING TO
 Going to is not tense.

 It is special structure that we use to talk about the future.

 Structure of going to is :-

 Subject +be +going to +infinitive

 EXAMPLE, Iam going to buy a new car.

 MAIN USES GOING TO :-

  FOR INTENTION

 We use going to when we have intention to do something before we

speak.

 We have already made decision before speaking.

 Example Iam going to start eating healthier foods.[Assertive rule]

 Going to prediction

 TO make aprediction about the future.

 Our prediction is based on present evidence.

 Example Becareful!, you are going to spill your tea!.

 Promises

 We can use WILL when we decide, agree or promise to do things.

 We don’t use the present in these cases.

Example,:- I will pay back tomorrow.

We will not forget mon’s brith day.

In general speaking there is hardly any difference between 'shall & will' and
normally ‘Will’ is used with all.

Now, let us use this rule in various forms of sentences;

1. Positive / Affirmative Sentences – Subject + Will/Shall + V1 + Object

EXAMPLE, She will write a letter.

2. Negative Sentences- Subject + Will/Shall + Not + V1 + Object

EXAMPLE ,She will not write a letter.

3. Interrogative Sentences- Will/Shall + Subject +V1+ Object

EXAMPLE, Will she write a letter?

4. Interrogative Negative Sentences- Will/Shall + Subject + Not + V1 + Object

EXAMPLE, Will she not write a letter?

3. Future Continuous Tense

The Future Continuous Tense depicts an action that is likely to happen in the future
and continue for an expected length of time.

Structure form
Sub +Will +be+ Ving

. The tense is used:

 To denote an action that will be in progress at some

point in the future.
 For example,
She will be having dinner with us tomorrow.

To denote an action verbs.

 For example,
I will be running the marathon next month.

 Future continuous tense shows that the action

will be continuous in the future. The first form
of the verb is used with the addition of ing.
( 1st form + ing)“. “will be” and “shall be” are
the helping verbs. “ will be “ is used with you,
he, she, it, they, and all nouns. “shall be” is
used with I and us only.
Affirmative sentences 
(will / shall + be) are used as helping verbs. And 1st form of a verb is used in
addition to (ing).

Structure form
Sub + will / shall+ be +V ing + object.
Examples:
 Girls will be clapping and dancing
  I shall be playing football.
 They will be working hard.

Negative of Future Continuous Tense

When we have to make negative sentences, we use not after (will, shall) and before
be.
Structure form
Subject + will/ shall+ not + be + Ving + object.
Examples
 He will not be riding a horse.
 Many students will not be participating in sports.
 We shall not be listening to a story.
 She will not be making tea.

Interrogative sentences
In the case of interrogative sentences, the helping verb (will/ shall) is placed at the
start of the sentence before the subject and be is placed after the subject. And a
question mark is added at the end.
Structure form
will/ shall + Subject  + be + V ing + object ?
Example
 Will you be playing?
 Will she be making tea?
 Shall I be playing football?

2. Future Perfect Tense

The Future Perfect Tense depicts an action that will be finished by a particular
time in the future Structural form :- Sub +Will /Shall +V3

 To depict the duration of an action that starts before and continues up

to another action or time in the future. For example,
At 5 pm, I’ll have been out in the market for 3 hours.
 To depict an action that will finish before a certain time in the future,
but exactly when that happens is not known. For example,

.Example

4. Future Perfect Continuous Tense

The Future Perfect Continuous Tense depicts an action that will continue up until a
point in the future.

Structure form

Subj+ will/Shall+have+been+ Ving.

It is used:

 To depict the duration of an action that continues up to another point

in the future. For example,
By the time you arrive, I will have exercised for an hour.

To denote an action that finishes just before another time or action in
the future. For example,
When I meet you, I’ll have been dancing, so I’ll be tired.

The Future Perfect Continuous is normally used to predict the length of

an activity — as if looking back at such activity from some finished time
in the future. Meaning The Future Perfect Continuous refers to ongoing
events or actions that will continue up to some point in the future. It is
most often used with a time expression.

Example

 By July, Chala will have been working in this office for a year (‘for a year’
is an imagined finished time in the future, but Cindy will still continue her
work after it).
 I will have been waiting here for three hours by six o’clock.
When to use Future Perfect Continuous?
The Future Perfect Continuous tense is a combination of two English
verb tenses: the Future Continuous (continuity of an action) and the
Future Perfect (completion or result by a certain point in time).

An ongoing future event Pattern 1: An ongoing future event in Future

Perfect Continuous form may start in future and then only last for a set
amount of time
Example:

 You will have been studying for six straight months

when you take the National exam. In this example you have
already started studying, but the act of studying for six months has not yet
been completed. Once the exam is taken, this action will have been
completed.
