Introduction : Forms Of Future
There are a number of future forms in English, just as there are different forms for the past

Forming The Simple Future :
The simple future tense is composed of two parts: will / shall + the infinitive without to
Subjec will infinitive without to

t
Future Continuous Tense :

Affirmative The futureContractions
continuous tense is made up of
the simple future tense of the verb to be
(shall/willIbe)
will+=a present
I'll participle (verb +
We will = we'll
-ing) of the main verb, as follow:
I will go You will = you'll
Simple future of Present participle He will = he'll
Subject
'to be' (base + ing) She will = she'll
We shall/will be cycling They will = they'll
I shall go Will not = won't
We use the future continuous tense:

The form "it will" is not normally
shortened.
Negative for something that is going to happen or will
happen. The precise time when it will happen
is unknown.
They will not see Examples:
o I will be calling you when I arrive there.

o We will be going over to your house later.
They won't see o They will be shovelling/shoveling to
clear the snow off driveway.
for an action that lasts a period of time in the

Interrogative future.
Examples:
o His father will be working the whole day

Will she ask? tomorrow.
o He will be attending a two-week training
course.
o Twenty yachts will be competing in the
Interrogative negative three-day race.
Won't they try? for an action that has been planned.

Examples:
o The family will be vacationing in Rome this summer.

o I will be going for my dental appointment tomorrow.
o We will be watching the match together on television.
to express an action that will be in progress at a certain or specified time in the future.
Examples:
o We will/shall be sleeping by the time you return.

o At this time next week, I shall/will be attending a job interview.
o Will they be coming around noon tomorrow?
for an action which will happen as a matter of routine or as scheduled (without

intention).
Examples:
o You will be working with Miss Cool again tomorrow.

o The first train will be arriving around this time.
Future Perfect Tense :

The future perfect tense is formed by using the simple future tense of the verb have
(will have) + the past participle of the main verb. It is used for an action which will have
finished by some future time or date as mentioned. Examples:
o Statement: She will have sewn the patch on my jeans by tonight.

o Question: Will the people have put out the fire by the time the firemen arrive?
The future perfect tense is used:

- to show that an activity will be completed by a specified time in the future. Examples:
o You can come over tomorrow evening as you will have finished work by then.
o I will have saved about one million dollars by the year 2090.
- to show that an action will be completed before another takes place in the future.
Examples:
o The fire will have burnt the building to the ground by the time the firemen arrive.
o He will have completed his homework before he goes to bed.
- to show a situation that will be over in the future. Examples:
o The special offer – buy two, get one free – will have ended by the weekend.
o They will have demolished that old building across the road by midday tomorrow.
- with conditional if. Examples:
o If you don't hurry up, they will have eaten all the food when you get there.
o I will have finished painting the fence within two hours if it doesn’t rain.
4
- with time phrase/clause.
The future perfect tense may come either before or after the time clause. A comma is usually
placed at the end of a time clause when the time clause comes before the main clause.
Examples:
o On April 1st, she will have stayed with me for six months.

o She will have stayed with me for six months on April 1st.
(The time phrase is on April 1st, and the main clause is she will have stayed with me for six
months.)
o By the time he joins us, we will have been in the library for two hours.
Future Perfect Continuous :

The future perfect continuous tense is formed with the future perfect tense of the
verb to be (shall/will have been) + a present participle (verb + -ing).
The future perfect continuous tense is used:
- to indicate the length of time that an action continues in the future.
Examples:
o By tomorrow, my uncle will have been driving a hearse for fifteen years.

o My uncle will have been researching in Antarctica for exactly ten years next Sunday.
- to show an action in progress until an event happens in the future. Here, a time clause
is used. The future perfect continuous tense may come either before or after the time
clause.
Examples:
o By the time he comes home at the end of the year, he will have been studying overseas
for five years.
o He will have been studying overseas for five years by the time he comes home at the
end of the year.
(Time clause: by the time he comes home at the end of the year; main clause: he will have
been studying overseas for five years. A comma is placed at the end of a time clause when
the clause comes before the main clause.)
5
Will Doesn't Mean Future
In English, there are many ways of talking about the future. We often think
about options and possibilities in the future, so we often use will.
But there are many other situations where we talk about the future without will.
(For example: be -ing, be going to, or the present form)
And will isn’t only for the future.
We also use will when there are other possibilities in the present.
