Future Indefinite Tense

The Future Indefinite Tense is also known as the Future Simple Tense.

This tense is used to express actions that will occur in the future. These actions may happen in the near future (e.g., later today or tomorrow) or in the distant future (e.g., next month, next year).

Examples:

She will visit her grandparents tomorrow.
I will complete my homework tonight.
We will move to England next year.
He will start his new job next week.
I will call you later today.
We will buy a new car next summer.
I will meet my friend at the cafe this evening.

It is one of the basic tenses in English grammar and is essential for talking about plans, predictions, promises, or general truths about the future.

Structure of Sentence

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

Note: Traditionally, two helping verbs, will and shall, were used.

For subjects ‘he, she, they, you, it, or a noun’, will is used.
For subjects ‘I or we’, shall is used.

However, in modern English, will is commonly used with all subjects, while the use of shall has become rare. Shall is now primarily used in formal, literary, or legal contexts to emphasize a future action or to express obligation or requirement when necessary.

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 the helping verb ‘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?

Will they start a business?
Will he study for his exam?
Will they come here?
Will we go to the zoo?
Will you help me?
Will they participate in the competition?
Will he meet me tomorrow?
Will they go to London next year?
Will he start a new job?
