Future Simple Tenses

Verb Conjugation
The Future Simple is pretty easy to form. Here's how:

subject + will + base form of the verb.
Here are some examples with miscellaneous common verbs.
1. I will talk. I will walk. I will dance. I will eat.
2. You will talk. You will walk. You will dance. You will eat.
3. She/He/It will talk. She/He/It will walk. She/He/It will dance. She/He/It will eat.
4. They will talk. They will walk. They will dance. They will eat.
5. We will talk. We will walk. We will dance. We will eat.

Future Simple Verb Form (five forms the ESL/EFL student must learn)
1. Affirmative Usage (e.g., She will teach Future Simple tenses tomorrow.)
2. Negative Usage (e.g., She will not teach the Present Progressive tense usage for the future. She won't teach the Present Continuous.)
3. Yes/No Questions (e.g., Will she teach English grammar?)
4. Short Answers (e.g., Yes, she will. No, she won't.)
5. WH- Questions (e.g., When will she teach the more verb tenses?)

Future Simple Function
The Future Simple tense is used to express future time (pretty simple). It's also used to express willingness. For example, "The phone is ringing. I'll get it."
