FUTURE
The simple future refers
to a time later than now,
and expresses facts or
certainty. In this case
there is no 'attitude'.
The simple future is used:
To predict a future event:
It will rain tomorrow.
With I or We, to express a
spontaneous decision:
I'll pay for the tickets by credit
card.
To express willingness:
I'll do the washing-up.
He'll carry your bag
for you.
In the negative form, to
express unwillingness:
The baby won't eat his
soup.
I won't leave until I've
seen the manager!
Note: In modern English will is preferred to shall.
Shall is mainly used with I and we to make an offer
or suggestion, or to ask for advice (see examples
above). With the other persons (you, he, she, they)
shall is only used in literary or poetic situations,
e.g. "With rings on her fingers and bells on her
toes, She shall have music wherever she goes."
Contractions
I will = I'll
We will = we'll
You will = you'll
He will = he'll
She will = she'll
They will = they'll
Will not = won't
.
The Future Perfect Tense is
used to describe an action that
will be completed by a certain
time in the future. It
emphasizes the completion of an
action before another point or
event in the future.
The structure of the Future Perfect
Tense is formed using the auxiliary
verb “will” (or “shall” in formal British
English), the auxiliary verb “have,” and
the past participle form of the main
verb.
The general structure is:
Subject+will/shall+have+past participle of the verb+object or complement
Subject+will/shall+have+past participle of the verb+object or
complement
The Future Perfect Tense is used to
talk about actions that will be
completed before a specific point or
event in the future. It often involves
looking back from a future time to
describe an action that will have been
finished by then.
The Future Perfect Continuous Tense
is used to describe actions that will
have been ongoing for a period of time
leading up to a point or event in the
future. It emphasizes both the duration
and completion of an action.
The structure of the Future Perfect
Continuous Tense is formed using the auxiliary
verb “will” (or “shall” in formal British English),
the auxiliary verb “have” in its present tense
form, the verb “be” in its present participle
form (be + “-ing”), and the main verb in its
present participle form.
The general structure is:
Subject+will/shall+have+been+present participle (verb + “-ing”)+object or
complement
Here’s an example:
“By this time next year, I will have been working here for ten
years.”
The Future Perfect Continuous Tense is used to
emphasize the duration of an action that will
have been happening up to a certain point in the
future.
It often implies that the action will continue until
that point, emphasizing both its duration and
completion.
To recognize the Future Perfect Continuous Tense, you
can look for several indicators and patterns in a
sentence:
Use of “will have been” or “shall have been”:
The primary indicator of the Future Perfect Continuous
Tense is the use of the auxiliary verb “will” or “shall”
followed by the auxiliary verb “have” and then “been,”
and finally the present participle (“-ing” form) of the
main verb.
