Education Future Simple: the rules of education, pronunciation, features of speaking and writing

In English, as in almost any other language, there is a need to express and describe actions in three tenses: past, present and future.

Some of them are used almost constantly, others are used several times less.

Future Simple, the formation of which is the subject of this article, can also be attributed to the category of the most commonly used types of temporary forms. However, before trying to form this time, it is necessary to understand why it is necessary at all, and what its actual meaning is.

General definition

Education Future Simple and the use of this kind of temporary form is necessary when it comes to action that should happen in the future. The phrase "future simple tense" itself translates to "simple future tense." Using it, you can express the following possible actions and events:

• The action, which will be repeated in the future: "next week I will go to the city several times."
• Assumption, hypothesis, subjective statement: "it seems to me it will rain," "I hope they come." Sentences with this or a similar meaning, as a rule, contain the words “I think,” “I believe,” “I hope,” “maybe,” and the like.
• A quick decision, which was not considered before, but turned out to be improvised. For example, when ordering food in a restaurant, a person can immediately decide: "I will be a salad." This solution of his in English will be formed with Future Simple.
• The promise to do something in the future, the provision of guarantees, certification, conviction: "I will definitely come to you."

Exceptions to the Rules

• When I earn a lot of money, I will start traveling. - When I make a lot of money, I will start traveling.
• If it starts raining, we will have to stay home and wait for in to finish. “ If it starts to rain, we will have to stay home and wait for it to end.”
• If my friend ask me for some help, I will do anything for him! - If my friend asks for help, I will do anything for him!
