Simple future

I.  Formation

We generally form the simple future by doing:

  • Affirmative form

S(I, we, they) + shall + V + C   /  S(he, she, it, you) + will+ V + C

$\textbf{Eg :}$ 

    • Moussa will come tomorrow.
    • I shall clean the board.
  • Negative form

S(I, we, they) + shall not + V + C   /  S(he, she, it, you)+ will not + V + C

$\textbf{Eg :}$

    • Moussa will not come tomorrow.
    • I shall not clean the board.
  • Intrrogative form

Shall/will + S + V + C + ?

$\textbf{Eg: }$

    • will Moussa clean the board?
    • shall I come tomorrow?

$\textbf{NB: will can be used with all the persons.}$

$\textbf{Eg :}$

  • I will clean the board.
  • We will be there on time.

$\textbf{Remarque: the negative contracted form of :}$

$\textbf{"shall not"}$ is $\textbf{"shan't"}$ and the negative contracted form of $\textbf{"will not"}$ is $\textbf{"won't"}$.

II.  Use

We use the simple future to talk about coming actions or events that have not arrived yet.

$\textbf{Eg :}$

  • We shall sit for our examination in june.
  • The teacher will come next week.

$\textbf{NB: Oher use of the simple future:}$

  • We use shall with the pronoun $\textbf{"we and I"}$ to ask for permission or check a confirmation.

$\textbf{Eg :}$ Shall I clean the board?

  • We use won't to express a refusal.

$\textbf{Eg :}$ I won't do that.
