To learn at what time these actions happen, we use tenses. Tenses change the form of verbs to signify the time they happen. Both verbs and tenses are integral parts of the English language and learning the tenses will help us speak English fluently. Simple Future Tense refers to actions that happen in the future.

They will <strong>begin and end in the future<\/strong>. To exemplify, in the sentence \u201cLaura will go out today.\u201d, we understand that Laura has not gone out yet, nor is she outside right now. She will go out later today, meaning the action will happen <strong>in the future<\/strong>. The Simple Future Tense is the third most commonly used tense in the English language and it is very easy to learn. We use the Simple Future Tense in two forms.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to use the Simple Future Tense, <strong>\u201cwill\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cbe going to\u201d<\/strong>. We use one of these two modals depending on the context and what we mean to say. Let\u2019s take a look and learn when to use <strong>\u201cwill\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cbe going to\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cbe going to\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe going to\u201d is used to describe future actions that are connected to the present. These connections are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prior Plans:<\/strong> Something we decided in the past, or an action or event that was planned beforehand that is going to happen in the future. These actions must have been decided before speaking about them.<br \/>\nExample: I am <strong>going to go<\/strong> on a vacation tomorrow, I have <strong>already bought<\/strong> the tickets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evidence:<\/strong> When we know something is going to happen in the future based on evidence, we use <strong>\u201cbe going to\u201d<\/strong>.<br \/>\nExample: It\u2019s <strong>going to rain<\/strong>, I can <strong>see the dark clouds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sudden, Unexpected Action:<\/strong> When something is about to happen right now.<br \/>\nExample: Careful, the ball is <strong>going to hit<\/strong> you on the head!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cwill\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill\u201d is used to describe future actions that do not have a connection to the present. These actions are <strong>unplanned<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sudden, Rapid Decisions:<\/strong> When we decide on something right before we speak, we use <strong>\u201cwill\u201d<\/strong>.<br \/>\nExample: I think I <strong>will try<\/strong> the new drink.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Predictions:<\/strong> When we are making guesses and predictions, or state a belief we have about the future.<br \/>\nExample: I think I <strong>will win<\/strong> this game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE:<\/strong> Both \u201cwill\u201d and \u201cbe going to\u201d can be used to make predictions.<\/p>\n<p>Example: I think she is <strong>going to buy<\/strong> you a present.<\/p>\n<p>Promises: When making a promise, a threat or an offer for the future.<br \/>\nExample: If you finish your homework, I promise <strong>I will buy<\/strong> you ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Refusal:<\/strong> When we are talking about someone refusing to do something, we use the negative form of \u201cwill\u201d, which is <strong>\u201cwon\u2019t (will not)\u201d<\/strong>.<br \/>\nExample: I tried everything, but he <strong>won\u2019t come<\/strong> out of his room.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 10px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><strong>What Are the Grammar Rules of Simple Future Tense?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When using Simple Future Tense, one way is to say <strong>subject + \u201cwill\u201d + root form of the V1<\/strong>.  Whether the subject is singular or plural does not make a difference. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n<p>We <strong>will watch<\/strong> 3 movies tonight.<br \/>\nI think she <strong>will catch<\/strong> the bus if she leaves now.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to use Simple Future Tense is to say <strong>subject + \u201cbe going to\u201d + root form of V1<\/strong>. \u201cBe\u201d changes form according to the subject we use. It becomes <strong>\u201cam\u201d<\/strong> for <strong>\u201cI\u201d<\/strong>, <strong>\u201care\u201d<\/strong>  for <strong>\u201cYou\/We\/They\u201d<\/strong>, and <strong>\u201cis\u201d<\/strong> for <strong>\u201cHe\/She\/It\u201d<\/strong>. Whether the subject is singular or plural does not make a difference. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p>I am <strong>going to wash<\/strong> the dishes in an hour.<br \/>\nYou are <strong>going to do<\/strong> your homework right now.<br \/>\nHe is <strong>going to stop<\/strong> drinking soda.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 10px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><strong>Simple Future Tense Grammar Table<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To help you better understand the grammar rules and formula of Simple Future Tense using the \u201cwill\u201d modal, here is a table:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1546-no-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1546\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Subjects<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Affirmative<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Negative<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Interrogative<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">I\/ You\/ He-She-It\/ We\/ They<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u201cwill\u201d + V1<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u201cwill\u201d not + V1<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">\u201cwill\u201d + subject + V1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>To help you better understand the grammar rules and formula of Simple Future Tense using the \u201cbe going to\u201d modal, here is a table:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1547-no-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1547\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Subjects<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Affirmative<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Negative<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Interrogative<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">I\/ You\/ He-She-It\/ We\/ They<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">\u201cbe going to\u201d + V1<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\u201cbe (not) going to\u201d + V1<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">\u201cbe going to\u201d + V1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 10px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tr.englishcentral.com?utm_source=Blog&#038;utm_medium=Organic&#038;utm_campaign=IngilizceSarkilar\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishcentral.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/In-post-ad-en2.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 10px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><strong>How To Construct Sentences With Simple Future Tense<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To use Simple Future Tense with the \u201cwill\u201d modal, we use the formula <strong>subject + \u201cwill\u201d + V1<\/strong>.
