Simple Future Tense


The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet.

How to form Simple Future


The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb].

Example : I will learn a new language. Jen will read that book. My brothers will sleep till noon if
no one wakes them up. You will see what I mean.
It doesn’t matter if the subject is singular or plural; the formula for the simple future doesn’t
change. But,
There is another way to show that something will happen in the future. It follows the formula
[am/is/are] + going to + [root form verb].

Example : I am going to learn a new language. Jen is going to read that book. My brothers are
going to sleep till noon if no one wakes them up. You are going to see what I mean.
The “going to” construction is common in speech and casual writing. Keep in mind though that
it’s on the informal side, so it’s a good idea to stick to the will + [root form] construction in
formal writing.

Changing the sentence style


(+) Iam going to learn a new language.
(-) I will not going to learn a new language.
(?) Will i going to learn a new language?
(Passive Voice) The language will be learned by me.
2. Future Continuous
The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb
tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of
time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -
ing).

Example : Michael will be running a marathon this Saturday.

Changing the sentence style


(+) Michael will be running a marathon this Saturday.
(-) Michael will not be running a marathon this Saturday.
(?) Will Michael be running a marathon this Saturday?

3. Future Perfect
The future perfect is a verb tense used for actions that will be completed before some other point
in the future.

The formula for the future perfect tense is pretty simple: will have + [past participle]. It doesn’t
matter if the subject of your sentence is singular or plural. The formula doesn’t change.

Example : They will have completed the project before the deadline.

Changing the sentence style


(+) They will have completed the project before the deadline.
(-) They will not have completed the project before the deadline.
(?) Will they have completed the project before the deadline?

4. Future Perfect Continuous
The future perfect continuous, also sometimes called the future perfect progressive, is a verb
tense that describes actions that will continue up until a point in the future. The future perfect
continuous consists of will + have + been + the verb’s present participle (verb root + -ing).

Example : The famous artist will have been painting the mural for over six months by the time it
is finished.
