Future (I) - Will

Hello kids!
Now we are going to talk about the expression of the future in English. There are several ways of expressing the future, but in this post we are going to focus on the Future Simple or Will-future. This tense is normally used for talking about future predictions and for expressing promise. It is formed with the auxiliary will followed by the main verb, being the same for all persons.

For instance, this below would be the paradigm of the future simple of 'to be:'

See how easy? So, any verb like that. Let's see some examples:
I will be in London in two hours
We will go to France next month
The president will visit the city

To ask questions in this tense, put the auxiliary will, then the subject and then the main verb.
Will you go to France next year?
Will the president visit the city?

To answer questions with a short answer, use Yes / No, followed by the person and the auxiliary (will for the affirmative answer, and won't or will not for the negative).
Will you come tomorrow?  Yes, I will.
Will the children get up early? No, they won't.

As for specific questions, just use the "question word" and then follow the same method. They are answered by using full sentences.
Where will you go next month? - I will go to France next month.
When will the president visit the city? - The president will visit the city next week.


The negative form is made by the subject followed by the auxiliary won't or will not and the infinitive:
 I will not come tomorrow
The children won't have classes next week


There are some expressions to refer to the future moment in which these actions are performed:
