Just like the past and present tenses, there is more than one future tense in English. These change depending on the function and what we want to say. Today we’re going to look at four future tenses the future simple, the future continuous, the future perfect and the future perfect continuous. We’ll show you how and when to use them. We’ll also share with you some fun videos and activities to help you understand them better. Ready to learn? Let’s go! The future tenses Take a look at the four future tenses in English and how they’re used in a sentence 1. Future Simple Let’s start with the basics. The future simple is used to talk about a time later than now and can be used in lots of different ways. Form It is made up of the verb will/won’t + base infinitive infinitive without to. Because will is a modal verb it doesn’t change depending on the person doing the action. We can use contractions I will = I’ll. In the negative, we can also use will not for more emphasis. Won’t is more common in speech. In short answers we say yes X will or no X won’t. Here’s a look at the future simple in positive and negative statements and questions. Uses and examples Instant or spontaneous decisions – I’m hungry. I think I’ll make a sandwich. Future predictions based on a belief – I’m sure you’ll pass the test. Promises – I won’t tell anyone your secret. Offers – I’ll carry your bags for you. Requests – Will you tell Henry I called? Threats – If you do that again, I’ll tell Mum. Future facts – I’ll be back later tonight. Shall We can use shall instead of will for future time references with I and we. However, it is slightly more formal. We shall never forget this beautiful day. It is also common to use shall in questions to make offers, suggestions or ask for advice. Shall I carry these bags for you? Shall I open the window? What shall I tell Mary about the broken vase? Be going to vs will It’s important to note that for predictions based on evidence and for future plans we use be going to not will. Look at those grey clouds. It’s definitely going to rain! – What are you doing after work? – I’m going to the gym. Activity One For more about the differences between will and be going to to talk about the future, watch this video from Learn English with TV Series 2. Future continuous Now let’s move on to the future continuous. Generally, we use this tense to talk about things in progress at a particular time in the future. Take a look at the form Form The structure of the future continuous is as follows will/won’t + be + ing form Uses and examples An action in progress at a specific time in the future at 5pm, this time tomorrow, in two weeks, in five years time etc.. This time tomorrow, I’ll be flying to Barbados. An action we see as new or temporary. I’ll be working for my Dad until I find a new job. Predictions or guesses about future events. He’ll be coming to the party, I guess. Predictions about the present. She’ll be getting married right now, I imagine. Polite enquiries. Will you be joining us for dinner? Stative verbs It’s important to remember that some verbs cannot be used in the continuous tense. These are called stative verbs. Stative verbs describe states, feelings, thoughts and opinions. Instead of the future continuous, we use the future simple tense for these verbs. Here are some examples Activity two Here’s a fun activity to practise what you’ve learnt about the future continuous. All you have to do is talk about what you’ll be doing at these different points in time. Try saying them out loud or write down your answers on a piece of paper. We’ll post some possible answers at the end of this blog post. What will you be doing…? 3. Future perfect Once you’ve mastered the future continuous, it’s time to learn the future perfect. The future perfect is used to talk about a completed action in the future. Here’s a look at the form Form The form of the future perfect is will/won’t + have + past participle. Regular past participles end in -ed. Irregular past participles don’t follow the common conjugation pattern. Uses and examples An action that will be completed before a specific time in the future. Next September, we’ll have been married for 50 years. Use by or by the time to mean some time before. I’ll have finished this report by the time you’re home. Use in, in a day’s time, in two weeks’ time, in three months’ time etc. to mean at the end of this period. In three years’ time, I’ll have completed my degree. Activity three Should you use has instead of have for third person in the future perfect? Here’s BBC Learn English with the answer. 4. Future perfect continuous We use the future perfect continuous to show that something will continue up until a particular event in the future. We normally use it to emphasise how long something will have been happening for. Form The form of the future perfect continuous is will/won’t + have + been + ing present participle Uses and examples To show that something will continue up until a particular event in the future. In October, I’ll have been working here for ten years. To show something finished just before another time action cause and effect. When I arrive, I’ll have been working all day, so I’ll be tired. With time expressions by + then / tomorrow / next year etc., by the time, when. By the time we arrive, we’ll have been travelling for fifteen hours.
