FUTURE TENSE

Today, once again grammar presentation. This time was conducted by Afifah's group. Their title is future tense. Great title. future...I was very excited to know more about this, because I like the title actually... Nonsense, but this is the fact, I just imagine what is meant by future then I can explain what actually is future tense and what word is being used for.

Futurity in English is expressed either by using words that imply future action ("I go to Berlin next week") or by employing an auxiliary construction combined with the main verb which represents the true action of the sentence.

The most common auxiliary verbs used to express futurity are "will", "can", "should", "may", and "must".

• May and might

Of these, "will" is the most neutral and it is the most commonly used:

• Simple Future
• Future Continuous
• Future Perfect
• Future Perfect Continuous

Apart from that, we can also use "going to":

• Going to

This is usually a little confusing for English learners but we can also use some of the present tenses to talk about the future:

• Present Simple
• Present Continuous
