The simple future tense is a tense used to express actions, events or states that will happen in the future. Here's how to form declarative and interrogative sentences in the simple future tense:
Declarative Sentences : In declarative sentences in the simple future tense, the auxiliary verb "will" is used with the infinitive of the verb to indicate an action or state that will occur in the future.
- Subject + will + verb base + other constituents
- Example sentence: I will travel to Paris next week. (I will go to Paris next week.)
- Example sentence: She will start her new job on Monday. (She will start her new job on Monday.)
Interrogative sentence : In the interrogative sentence in the simple future tense, the auxiliary verb "will" is placed at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject, and then the original form of the verb, which is used to ask about actions or events that will happen in the future.
- Will + subject + verb base + other constituents?
- Example sentence: Will you attend the meeting tomorrow? (Will you attend the meeting tomorrow?)
- Example: Will they travel together? (Will they travel together?)
Note that in a declarative sentence in the simple future tense, there is the original verb between the subject and "will", while in an interrogative sentence, the auxiliary verb "will" is placed at the beginning of the sentence, and the original verb remains unchanged. Such a structure makes the sentence an interrogative sentence in the simple future tense, which is used to ask about possible future situations.
