3. FUTURE TENSE OF ‘HAVE TO´
• In grammar, a future tense is a verb form that generally marks the event described by the verb as not having
happened yet, but expected to happen in the future. An example of a future tense form is the French aimera,
meaning "will love", derived from the verb aimer ("love"). English does not have a future tense formed by verb
inflection in this way, although it has a number of ways to express the future, particularly the construction with the
auxiliary verb will or shall, and grammarians differ in whether they describe such constructions as representing a
future tense in English, one and all.
• The "future" expressed by the future tense usually means the future relative to the moment of speaking, although in
contexts where relative tense is used it may mean the future relative to some other point in time under
consideration. Future tense can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation FUT.
