In English, the future tense is formed with the auxiliary verb "will" or "shall" followed by the base form of the main verb. For example, "I will go" or "I shall go." Another way to express the future tense in English is to use the present tense of the verb "to be" followed by the present participle of the main verb. This is known as the "be going to" construction, and it is used to express plans or intentions. For example, "I am going to go." Additionally, the future tense can be formed using the present tense, or base form of verb to indicate a scheduled event in the future, like "The train leaves at 4 PM." The Future Continuous Tense, which indicate an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future, formed by using will/shall + be + verb + -ing, like "I will be studying at 8 PM." The Future Perfect Tense, which indicate an action that will have completed at a specific point in the future, formed by using will/shall + have + verb in past participle form, like "I will have finished my work by the evening."

The future tense in English is generally formed using the auxiliary verb "will" + the base form of the main verb. For example, "I will eat breakfast tomorrow." Another way to form the future tense is to use "be" + "going to" + the base form of the main verb, such as "I am going to study for my exam later." Additionally, some verbs have irregular future forms, such as "shall" or "should."

Hi. Well in American English the auxiliary verb “will”+ infinitive is used. In British English two verbs are used: He, she , it, you , they - will I, we- shall It’s only Future Simple Tense. They have more Future Tenses. Which one do you want to know? Besides for denoting future planned action Present Continuous is used.

There is no 'future tense' (only past and present), but you can speak about the future in these ways, depending on what you wish to emphasise. [Present Continuous] - (To emphasise certainty or fact.) - "He is arriving at 12:00." ['will' + present] - He will arrive at 12:00. ['to be' + 'going to'] - (To emphasise a planned action.) - He is going to arrive at 12:00. Your choice also depends on how you are asked. You should answer in the same format as the question. For example, "When will you arrive?" should be met with: "I will arrive at 12:00."

You can form the simple future in English in three different ways: 1. You can use WILL to talk about a time later than now. To form the sentence the rule is very simple: subject + will + infinitve form of the verb I will go to school tomorrow. The negative form, WILL NOT, is contracted in WON'T and is commonly used in the english conversation. 2. You can use SHALL but only for the first singular and the first plural person (I and WE). Also, this is more formal. The sentence is the same: subject (I or we) + shall + infinite form of the verb We shall go to this Italian restaurant together. 3. You can use GOING TO when you talk about intentions and plans that are going to happen for sure. The sentence is formed in the same way: subject + going to + infinite form of the verb I am going to the gym after work.
