Future Tenses

Future Simple. The Future Simple is used:1. In predictions about the future usually with the verbs think, expect, the expressions be sure, be afraid, and the adverbs perhaps, certainly, probably, etc. His parents think he will become an artist one day.2. For on-the-spot decisions and offers. I will take this jacket. – Since, it’s your birthday, I will pay for lunch.3. For actions/ events/ situations which will definitely happen in the future and which we cannot control. Jill will be 2 years old next month. (We cannot control this future event; it will definitely happen.)4. For promises (usually with the verbs promise, swear, guarantee), for threats, for warnings, for requests, for hopes (usually with I hope.)I hope pollution levels will drop soon. (hope)Factories must stop polluting the air or else we won’t be able the breathe. (warning)

Future Simple. We use WILL/ SHALLWill you…? to make a request; that is, to ask someone to do something for us.e.g. Will you open the door for me, please?2. Won’t to show that someone is unwilling or refuses to do something.e.g. I have talked to Sue about her decision to leave, but she won’t listen. (=She refuses to listen.)3. Shall I/we…? To make an offer.e.g. Shall I give you a hand with those bags? (Do you want me to give you a hand with those bags?)b) To make a suggestion.e.g. Shall we wait until the rain stops? (Why don’t we wait until the rain stops?)c) To ask for suggestions or instructions.e.g. What shall I do with all these letters? – Put them on my desk.
