Future Simple Tense

The future simple tense is often called the "will" tense because we make the future simple with the modal auxiliary verb will.

in this lesson we look at the structure and use of the future simple tense.

The auxiliary verb (will) is invariable: will

The main verb is invariable in base form: base

For negative sentences we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the auxiliary verb.

Contraction with Future Simple

When we use the Future Simple in speaking, we often contract the subject and the auxiliary verb. We also sometimes do this in informal writing.
