How the Future is Formed with the Auxiliary Verb "Will" in English
In English, the future tense can be formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. This construction is used to express actions or events that are expected to happen in the future.
Structure:
Subject + will + base form of the verb
Examples:
- I will go to the store tomorrow.
- She will finish her homework later.
- They will travel to Japan next year.
Key Points:
- "Will" does not change according to the subject (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
- The main verb remains in its base form (without "to").
- It is used for predictions, promises, offers, spontaneous decisions, and future facts.
Example Sentences:
Purpose| Example Sentence

Prediction| It will rain this evening.
