Pengertian Simple Future Tense

Simple future tense adalah suatu bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk
menyatakan bahwa suatu aksi terjadi dimasa depan, secara spontan atau terencana.
Tense ini juga dapat digunakan untuk membentuk conditional sentence tipe 1.

Rumus Simple Future Tense

Simple future tense dibentuk dari modal “will” atau “shall” dan bare
infinitive (bentuk dasar verb) atau dibentuk dari phrasal modal “be going to” dan bare
infinitive (base form verb).

Dengan demikian rumus simple future tense untuk kalimat positif, negatif, dan interogatif
sebagai berikut.

Jenis Kalimat Rumus Contoh Simple Future Tense

S + will + bare infinitive
positif
S + be (am/is/are) going to + They are going to come
(+)
bare infinitive
negatif S + will + not + bare infinitive
You won’t win
(-) S + be (am/is/are) + not +
They aren’t going to come
going to + bare infinitive
interogatif Will + S + bare infinitive Will you win
(?) Be (am/is/are) + S + going to
+ bare infinitive? Are they going to come

Simple Future Tense dan Present Continuous Tense

Present continuous tense (selain verb “go”) dapat juga digunakan untuk menyatakan
aksi di masa depan seperti simple future tense:

I’m presenting the weekly report at today’s meeting.

Selain itu, kombinasi will dan be + present participle juga dapat digunakan untuk
menghindari nada tidak sabar (impatient) atau mendesak (insistent). Kalimat akan
terdengar demikian jika hanya ada “will” (tanpa be+present participle)
karena stress (penekanan) hanya terjadi pada kata tersebut.
