Future simple

Understanding the future simple tense in English Grammar

‍

What is the future simple tense?

The simple future tense is used to describe actions that will happen at a later time. It is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. The negative form is created by adding "not" after "will" (i.e., "will not" or "won't").

‍

Explication in French:

Le futur simple est utilisé pour décrire des actions qui se produiront plus tard. Il se forme en utilisant le verbe auxiliaire "will" suivi de la forme de base du verbe principal. La forme négative se crée en ajoutant "not" après "will" (c'est-à-dire "will not" ou "won't").

Examples:

• Affirmative: She will go to the market.
• Negative: They will not (won't) finish the project on time.
• Interrogative: Will you join us for dinner
