We're going to learn how to use "will" in the simple future tense to talk about future predictions. This is a useful tool for speaking about things we believe will happen or will not happen in the future.

Using "Will" for Future Predictions

When we want to predict a future event that we believe is certain to happen, we use "will" followed by the base form of the verb. It's a straightforward way to talk about the future.

Grammar Rule: Subject + "will" + base form of the verb + (optional object).

Simple present, simple past, and simple future

Examples:

  • I will go to the store tomorrow.

    Subject ("I") + "will" + base form of the verb ("go") + time expression ("tomorrow").

  • They will visit us next week.

    Subject ("They") + "will" + base form of the verb ("visit") + time expression ("next week").

Negative Form of "Will"

To talk about future events that we believe will not happen, we use the negative form "will not" or the contraction "won't" before the base form of the verb.

Grammar Rule: Subject + will not (won't) + base form of the verb + (optional object).

Examples:

  • She won't watch the movie.

    Subject ("She") + will not (won't) + base form of the verb ("watch") + object ("the movie").

  • We will not travel to Spain this summer.

    Subject ("We") + will not + base form of the verb ("travel") + time expression ("this summer").

Remember, using "will" and "will not" (or "won't") is a simple way to express certainty about future actions or situations. It's commonly used in everyday English for making predictions about the future.
