The document discusses the future tense in English. It explains that English does not have a distinct future tense formed by verb inflection, but instead uses constructions with "will" or "shall" followed by the base verb form. It provides examples of forming simple future and future perfect sentences in English. It also notes some common irregular verbs in the future tense and compares the use of future versus present tense for near versus distant future actions.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. As such, there is no specific future time in English, but
there are different verbs and expressions to refer to it.
A common way of the future in English has the following
structure:
Subject + will + verb
I will play / I'll play
As we see, this form of future in English is quite simple.
In fact, often called FUTURE SIMPLE (Simple Future)
We may find other auxiliary form, valid also for
expressing the future, which is 'shall'. In this case, 'shall'
is used as an auxiliary to the first person singular and
plural being used 'will' for all others. Both 'shall' and 'will'
can be contracted in the affirmative and negative forms
(You will You'll).
'Shall' is less used, especially in the United States. In
modern English we tend to use 'will' for everyone.

5. In English, the future perfect construction consists of the
auxiliary verb will (or shall; see shall and will) to mark
the future, the auxiliary verb have to mark the perfect,
and the past participle of the main verb (the second
component of the English perfect construction). For
example:
She will have fallen asleep by the time we get home.
I shall have gone by then.
Will you have finished when I get back?
The first auxiliary may be contracted to 'll: see English
auxiliaries and contractions. The negative form is made
with will not or shall not; these have their own
contractions won't and shan't. Some examples:
I'll have made the dinner by 6.
He won't have done (or will not have done) it by this
evening.
Won't you have finished by Thursday? (or Will you not
have finished by Thursday

6. En la forma interrogativa se invirte el orden de sujeto y
auxiliar:
Will you play? / ¿Jugarás?
La forma estructura de la forma interrogativa-negativa
es:
auxiliar + sujeto + not
Will you not play? / ¿No jugarás?

7. The future tense is used to tell what "will" happen, or what "shall" happen.
I will go to the beach next month.
I shall write the letter next week.
But, the future tense is not used to express a willingness to do something. For this, use the
verb "querer."
¿Quieres ir a la tienda?
Will you go to the store?
The future tense is also used to express wonder or probability in the present state.
¿Quién será ella?
I wonder who she is? (Who could she be?)
Estará viajando solo.
He is probably traveling alone.

8. For actions that will occur in the near future, the present tense is more
commonly used.
Esta noche voy al cine.
Tonight I'm going to the movies.
Further in the future, use the future tense.
El año que viene iré a España.
Next year I'm going to Spain.
Regular verbs in the future tense are conjugated by adding the following
endings to the infinitive form of the verb: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án.

9. hablaré
hablarás
hablará
hablaremos
hablaréis
hablarán
There are twelve common verbs that are irregular in the
future tense. Their endings are regular, but their stems
change. Since the endings are the same as all other
future tense verbs, we show only the "yo" form, and have
underlined the irregular stem. We have also grouped
them according to their patterns of change.
