Future Indefinite Tense

Future indefinite tense is also known as future simple tense.

This tense is used to express an action that will occur in the future. Such an action is intended to be done in the near or far future after being said about it by the speaker.

Structure of Sentence

Main verb: 1st form of verb, e.g., go, buy, write.
Helping verb: Will

Note. According to traditional English, two helping verbs ‘will’ and ‘shall’ are used. If the subject of the sentence is ‘he, she, they, you, it or a noun’, then ‘will’ is used. If the subject is ‘I or We’, then ‘shall’ is used. However, in modern English, the difference between ‘will’ and ‘shall’ has almost disappeared. In modern English, the helping verb ‘will’ is used with all subjects (e.g., he, she, they, you, I, we, or noun). The helping verb ‘shall’ is not used very much at all.

POSITIVE SENTENCES:

Subject + helping verb + main verb + object.
Subject + will + 1st form of verb + object.

Examples:
I will go to school tomorrow.
She will buy a new laptop.
He will marry her next week.
She will get admission in a new school.
I will meet him in the library.
I will give him a gift on his birthday.
She will wear a new dress.
We will go to the zoo.
She will sing a song.
I will write him a letter.
He will solve the problem.
They will start a business.
We will move to a new house.
He will read this book.
You will repent on your mistake.

NEGATIVE SENTENCES:

In negative sentences, the word ‘not’ is added after ‘will’.

Subject + helping verb + not + main verb + object.
Subject + will + not + 1st form of verb + object.

Examples:
I will not go to college tomorrow.
He will not buy a car.
She will not eat the meal.
He will not watch this movie.
We will not participate in the competition.
She will not take the exam this year.
They will not play cricket.
He will not come here.
They will not win the game.
He will not borrow money from you.
You will not tell a lie.
We will not waste our time.
I will not forget your name.

Note: The short form of 'will not' is 'won't'. Therefore, the negative sentences can also be written with 'won't' instead of 'will not'. See the following example:

He will not help you.
He won't help you..

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES:

The question sentence starts with ‘will’.

Helping verb + subject + main verb + object.
Will + subject + 1st form of verb + object.

Examples:
Will he go to his office tomorrow?
Will she buy a new chair?
Will you give him your book?
Will they send him an invitation card?
Will she bring some food for the guests?
Will I look good in this dress?
