How to form it?

will + infinitive

Statement: I/you/he/she/it/we/they will work

Question: Will I/you/he/she/it/we/they work?

Negative: I/you/he/she/it/we/they won’t work

a) We use the future simple to make predictions about the future. It is a simple prediction; it is not based on evidence, so it may or may not happen.

Such predictions are often introduced by verbs: think, believe, be sure, be afraid

  • I think it will rain at the weekend.
  • He hopes our team will win.

b) We use the future simple to speak about something we decide to do at the moment of speaking; it is an on-the-spot/spontaneous decision or willingness.

  • I’ll have the orange juice, not the apple.
  • I’ll pay for it by credit card.
  • The baby won’t sleep. (unwillingness)
  • He won’t listen to anything I say.

c) We use the future simple to express requests, hopes, offers, promises, warnings, and orders.

  • Will you open the window, please? (request)
  • I’ll never help you again! (warning)
  • I’ll copy it for you. (offer)
  • I won’t tell anyone. (promise)
  • He will carry your bag for you. (order)

d) It is better to use will to make a prediction based on our opinion or experience than to be going to.

  • Come to see us. John will enjoy seeing you again.
  • No, don’t ask Ann, she doesn’t like discos. She won’t want to go.

e) We can also use it when we speak about future events which are arranged or timetabled.

  • Will the meeting take part tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
