The Future Simple and Future Continuous tenses are essential grammatical structures in English for expressing future actions and events. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of their usage, construction, and applications, helping students master these important tenses.
Future Simple is used for spontaneous decisions, promises, requests, predictions, and announcements of plans made at the moment of speaking. Its structure involves using "will" followed by the base form of the verb.
Future Continuous describes ongoing actions in the future or is used to politely inquire about someone's plans. It is formed with "will be" followed by the present participle (-ing form) of the verb.
The guide also briefly mentions two other ways to express future in English: "be going to" for more thought-out plans, and Present Continuous for definite arrangements.
