Future: Forms
Introduction
In English, there are many ways of talking about events in the future. Many students find it difficult to decide which form to use in a particular situation. This page explains the differences between main forms which we use when talking about future time.
1. Basic meanings of the forms
Most students know that “will” and “going to” are used to talk about future time in English. However, we also use the present progressive (“be” + ING) and the present simple tense. Here are the basic rules.
Form | Meaning / Usage | Example |
---|---|---|
“Will” | volunteering to do something deciding at the time of speaking to do something | Angelo: I need a pencil. Sarah: I'll lend you mine. |
“Going to” | talking about something that is already decided | Angelo: Have you registered for the class yet? Sarah: Not yet. I'm going to register tomorrow. |
Present Continuous | talking about something that is already arranged | Angelo: Do you want to go to the movies tonight? Sarah: Sorry, I can't. I'm playing soccer. |
Present simple | talking about a schedule, timetable or program | Angelo: What time does the next bus leave? Sarah: It leaves at six. |
2. Predicting the future
When you are predicting what you think will happen in the future, you should choose the form based on how certain you are. If you're not too sure, it's fine to use “will”, but if you're nearly certain about something, it's best to use “going to”.
I think it will rain.
(I'm not sure, but it looks like it might.)
It's going to rain.
(I'm sure it's going to rain — I can see black clouds in the sky.)
(I'm not sure, but it looks like it might.)
It's going to rain.
(I'm sure it's going to rain — I can see black clouds in the sky.)
When you are sure that you understand the lesson, you can continue with the exercises.

Future: “Will”
Introduction
In English, there are many ways of expressing future time. One of the most common is using the modal auxiliary verb “will”. This page will explain the main meanings of “will” and show you how to form the future with “will”.
1. Using “will” with verbs
“Will”, like all modal verbs in English, does not change its form, and it is followed by the simple form of the main verb. “Will” is NOT usually used in first person questions. Note also that will is often shortened to ’ll. This diagram should make the situation clearer:
Negatives are formed with “will not” or “won't”:
Subject | Statement | Question |

I | I will stop smoking. I'll stop smoking. | [not usually used] |
You | You will stop smoking. You'll stop smoking. | Will you stop smoking? |
He | He will stop smoking. He'll stop smoking. | Will he stop smoking? |
She | She will stop smoking. She'll stop smoking. | Will she stop smoking? |
It | It will be hard to stop. It'll be hard to stop. | Will it be hard to stop? |
We | We will stop smoking. We'll stop smoking. | [not usually used] |
They | They will stop smoking. They'll stop smoking. | Will they stop smoking? |
He will not stop smoking.
He won't stop smoking.
He won't stop smoking.
2. The meaning of “will” future forms
“Will” is usually used in three situations:
“Will” is NOT usually used for fixed plans or scheduled events.
Situation | Example |
---|---|
Volunteering to do something | "Will someone open the window for me?" "I'll do it!" |
Deciding to do something | "I've made up my mind. I'll go to Whistler for my vacation." |
Forcing someone to do something. | "Dad, I don't want to clean my room!" "You'll do it, and you'll do it NOW!" |
When you are sure that you understand the lesson, you can continue with the exercises.

Simple Future - Futuro Simples
Will
O futuro é uma forma verbal normalmente utilizada para expressar eventos que ainda não aconteceram, estando estes situados depois do acto de fala, ou da escrita. O futuro simples em inglês é construído pelo verbo modal ou auxiliar will, ou pelo menos comum shall, seguido do verbo principal no infinitivo, sem to.
O simple future é formado da seguinte maneira:
WILL + verbo
Os usos mais comuns são:
· Falar sobre uma decisão que está sendo tomada no momento da fala.
Ex: I’ll give you the money right now. (Eu te darei o dinheiro agora mesmo).
· Fazer uma oferta.
Ex: I’ll get the money. (Eu darei o dinheiro).
· Fazer uma predição sobre o futuro.
Ex: You’ll be very rich. (Você será muito rico).
· Fazer um pedido.
Ex: Will you ask them to be quiet? (Você pedirá a eles para ficarem quietos?).
· Recusar alguma coisa.
Ex: No, I won’t be quiet. (Não, eu não ficarei quieto).
· Fazer uma promessa, ameaça, dar um aviso ou um comando.
Ex: I’ll call the teacher. (Eu chamarei o professor).
· Fazer um convite.
Ex: Will you join us tonight? (Você se juntará a nós esta noite?).
· Falar a respeito de acontecimentos sobre os quais você não está totalmente certo. Neste caso, usa-se advérbios que indicam probabilidade, como: perhaps (talvez), maybe (talvez), certainly (certamente), probably(provavelmente), it’s possible/probable that... (É possível, provável que) Ex: I’ll probably be late tomorrow. (Eu provavelmente chegarei atrasado amanhã).
Geralmente são acompanhados por alguns advérbios ou locuções adverbiais, como: tomorrow, soon, next month/week/year, in a few days, in a short time, in hours...
Observação: é possível usar shall para expressar o futuro, seguido de verbo no infinitivo sem to. O Shall é mais usado para as primeiras pessoas (I e We). Quando usado para as demais pessoas dá ênfase à frase. Ex: I will go, he shall. (quer dizer que eu irei a algum lugar, mas o facto de ele também ir merece ser detacado.)
O futuro simples tem as seguintes formas:
Afirmativa | Negativa | Interrogativa | |
I will | I will not | Will I? | |
You will | You will not | Will you ? | |
He She will It | He She will not It | He? Will She ? It ? | |
We will | We will not | Will we ? | |
You will | You will not | Will You ? | |
They will | They will not | Will They ? |
Essas formas também possuem contrações: WILL+NOT = WON’T / SHALL+NOT=SHAN’T
Afirmativa | Negativa | |
I´ll | I won´t | |
You´II | You won´t | |
He´ll She´ll It´ll | He She won´t It | |
We´ll | We won´t | |
You´ll | You won´t | |
They´ll | They won´t |
Outros Exemplos:
• We will call him now. (Nós ligaremos para ele agora).
• Will she cook for us? (Ela cozinhará para nós?).
• I wont go to the supermarket. (Eu não irei ao supermercado).
• We shall never give up. (Nós não devemos desistir nunca).
