The Future Tense

1. The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future, after the present time.
2. We use the future tense to express things that haven’t happened yet, but will happen later.
3. The future tense is formed by using the helping verb “will” followed by the base form of the main verb.
4. For example, if we want to say “I will go to the park,” we use the future tense by saying “I will + go.”
5. The helping verb “will” is used with all subjects, such as “I will,” “you will,” “he will,” “she will,” “we will,” and “they will.”
6. It is important to note that when using the future tense, we do not change the base form of the verb. It stays the same regardless of the subject.
7. To make negative sentences in the future tense, we add “not” after “will.” For example, “I will not play football.”
8. In questions, we invert the subject and “will.” For example, “Will you come to my birthday party?”
9. We can also use time expressions to indicate when the future action or event will happen. For instance, “tomorrow,” “next week,” “in the evening,” or “in two days.”
10. Remember to always use the future tense when talking about things that will happen in the future, and use “will” followed by the base form of the verb.

How to express future actions in the negative form of the future tense:

1. The negative form of the future tense is used to indicate that an action or event will not happen in the future.
2. To express a negative future action, we use the helping verb “will” followed by “not” and the base form of the main verb.
3. For example, if we want to say “We will not be going to church next week,” we use the negative form of the future tense by saying “We will not + be going.”
4. The helping verb “will” is used with all subjects, such as “I will not,” “you will not,” “he will not,” “she will not,” “we will not,” and “they will not.”
5. The contraction “won’t” can also be used instead of “will not.” For example, “We won’t be going to church next week.”
6. It is important to remember that when using the negative form of the future tense, we do not change the base form of the verb. It stays the same regardless of the subject.
7. The negative form is created by adding “not” after “will,” and it makes the sentence express the opposite meaning.
8. When expressing negative sentences in the future tense, we use “will not” or “won’t” to indicate that the action or event will not take place.
9. It’s essential to use the negative form when we want to say that something will not happen in the future.
10. Remember to always use “will not” or “won’t” followed by the base form of the verb to express future actions in the negative form

How to ask and answer interrogative sentences using the contracted form of “will” and “shall”:

Asking Interrogative Sentences:

1. When asking a question using the contracted form of “will,” we use the subject followed by the contracted form of “will” and the base form of the verb.
2. For example, instead of saying “Will you go to the party?” we can use the contracted form and say “Will you + go to the party?” which becomes “Will you + ‘ll go to the party?”
3. Similarly, when asking a question using the contracted form of “shall,” we use the subject followed by the contracted form of “shall” and the base form of the verb.
4. For example, instead of saying “Shall we start the game?” we can use the contracted form and say “Shall we + start the game?” which becomes “Shall we + ‘ll start the game?”

Answering Interrogative Sentences:

5. To answer interrogative sentences using the contracted form of “will,” we can use “yes” or “no” followed by the contracted form of “will” and the base form of the verb.
6. For example, if someone asks, “Will you go to the party?” you can answer “Yes, I + ‘ll go” or “No, I + won’t go.”
7. When answering interrogative sentences using the contracted form of “shall,” we can use “yes” or “no” followed by the contracted form of “shall” and the base form of the verb.
8. For example, if someone asks, “Shall we start the game?” you can answer “Yes, we + ‘ll start” or “No, we + won’t start.”

Key Points to Remember:

9. The contracted form of “will” is “‘ll” and the contracted form of “shall” is “‘ll” as well.
10. When asking interrogative sentences, the contracted form is used by combining the subject with “‘ll” before the base form of the verb. When answering, “yes” or “no” is used with “‘ll” before the base form of the verb
