What Is Future Simple Tense?

The future simple tense is used to talk about future actions and events. It is formed using the modal verb 'will' followed by the base form of the verb.

Structure

The future simple tense is formed using 'will' (or the short form 'll) + base form of the verb. For example:

Subject	Full Form	Short Form
I	will go.	I'll go.
He/She/It	will go	He'll/She'll/It'll go.
We/You/They	will go.	We'll/You'll/They'll go.

Negation

To make a negative future simple tense, just add not to will or use the short form 'won't' and then use the base form of the verb.

Affirmative	Negative	Short Form
I will work.	I will not work.	I won't work.
She will run.	She will not run.	She won't run.

Questions

To make a question in a future simple form, just use will at the beginning of the sentence, add the subject and then the base form of the verb. Here are some examples:

Statement	Question
He will go.	Will he go?
You will work.	Will you work?

Please check if there is a correction that needs to be done to the affirmative sentences in the sub-topic NEGATION. Since affirmative sentences refer to those that are positive, the appropriate affirmative sentence examples should be 'I will work' and 'She will run' since we talk about the change from affirmative to negation in future simple tense.
