Different Ways of Expressing the Future
Future Indefinite Past Simple vs Past Continuous
The Future Indefinite is formed by means of the auxiliary verb will and shall and the infinitive of the notional verb without the particle to. In the interrogative form the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject. In the negative form the negative particle not is placed after the auxiliary verb.
Note: We normally use shall only in questions with I and we to ask somebody’s opinion (especially in offers and suggestions) and to ask for advice: Shall I open the window? (= Do you want me to open the window?) Shall we go for a walk? (= Let’s go for a walk.)
The Future Indefinite is used: 1. To express decisions made at the moment of speaking: I’m tired. I will go and have a nap. OK, I’ll see you this evening at eight. 2. To express predictions, often with I believe, expect, hope, think, etc. I think it will be a difficult game. Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. 3. To express offers or willingness. I’ll give you a lift home if you like. All right. I’ll water the flowers. 4. To ask somebody to do something. Will you please make some coffee? Will you do me a favour? 5. To say that you or somebody refuses, promises and threats to do something. I won’t speak to you ever again! I’ll pay you back on Friday. Don’t give her advice. She won’t listen. The Future Indefinite is used with the following time indicators:
We can use different ways to express the future in English. The choice depends on the situation. Here are the main forms and their uses:
