Simple future tense refers to an action that will take place in the future. Generally, it is used to describe a prediction or intention.
Pattern: Subject + will/shall + verb + objectTo form the simple future tense, all you need to do is add the word will before the root form of the verb. For example, the simple future tense of sing is will sing, and the simple future tense of give is will give.
Remember:
- Shall is used with first person singular and plural
- Will is generally used with Second and third person
but using it in first person also makes the grammatically correct sentence
