To form sentences in the future simple tense, the modal verb 'will' is required. This modal verb serves as an indicator of future events. Whenever 'will' is used in a sentence, it shows that the sentence is referring to the future. Like other modals, 'will' has the same form for all persons and the main verb that follows it must be in its base form.

In order to make affirmative sentences in the future simple tense, you need to place 'will' after the subject followed by the base form (infinitive without 'to') of the main verb. The main verb following 'will' always remains in its simple form, which means it does not take the third person '-s' or '-ing'. Look at the following example:

You can also use the contracted form of 'will.' To do so, add '-'ll' to your subject instead of 'will.' Remember that contracted forms are informal and therefore they are used mostly in speaking rather than writing. For example:

To form a negative sentences in the future simple, all you have to do is add 'not' to 'will'. See the example below:

You can also use the contracted and informal form of 'will not,' which is 'won't.'

'Will' can also be used to form yes/no questions and wh- questions about the future. Yes/no questions in future simple are basically affirmative sentences with a different word order. To make these questions, 'will' comes at the beginning of the sentence and the subject and main verb follow right after. For example:

To form wh-questions in future simple, interrogative words such as what, when, where, who, how, and why come at the beginning, followed by 'will.' The subject and base form of the main verb come after 'will.' Look at the following examples:

When 'who' and 'what' are used to ask a question about the subject, they simply replace the subject and 'will' follows them with the base form of the main verb. Look at the example:

You can use future simple with 'will' for the following purposes:

We can use the future simple tense with 'will' if we have a firm plan or decision when the main verb is 'be.'

Future simple is also used to offer an opinion, hope, uncertainty, or assumption regarding the future. When speculating about what will or will not happen in the future, you can use the future simple tense. Here are the examples:

Sometimes the negative form of 'will' is used to show a refusal to do something. In this case, you can also use the contracted form of 'will not' which is more common. Check out the examples.
