Topic:Verb Tenses ( Future Tense)

Date: Monday 25th May, 2020.

A verb is a word that indicates an action, event or a state.

The future tense is the tense of a verb used to refer to an action or event that has not yet happened but is expected to happen in the future. It uses the modal verbs ' shall and will '.

Examples

a. I will jump in the lake. ( This is a future activity)

b. I will be happy. ( This is a future state of being)

c. We shall move to another city.

Types of Future Tense

1. The simple future tense: this is used for an action that will occur in the future. It uses the modal verbs " will / shall" plus the base form of the verb.

Examples

a. I will do my assignment this evening.

b. I shall read my book after breakfast.

c. John will clean the kitchen tonight.

d. We will succeed if we do our best.

e. You will stand in a straight line.

I said the simple future tense is formed with the modal verbs shall and will plus the base form of the verb. Right?

Now tell me what I meant by " the base form of the verb"

The base form of the verb is the original form of the verb.

Examples include go, walk, eat, watch, sweep etc.

2. The future continuous tense: the future continuous tense is used for an ongoing action or event that will occur in the future. It uses the modal verbs " will be / shall be " plus the present participle of the verb ( - ing form of the verb).

Examples
