The simple future tense is built using “will” plus the base form of a verb. Just add “will” before your verb, and you’re set. For example, “will eat,” “will go,” “will play.” If you’re asking a question, just flip it around: “Will I go?”

1. Positive Form

The positive form in the simple future tense is all about expressing a decision about the future.

Positive Form

You start with the subject (like “I,” “you,” “we”), add “will” to show future action, and then the base form of the verb (V1). For instance, “I will go to Thailand.”

2. Negative Form

The negative form is when you want to talk about something that won’t happen in the future.

Negative Form

You just add “will not” or the shorter form “won’t” after the subject, followed by the base form of the verb. For instance, “I will not go to Thailand” or “I won’t go to Thailand.” 

3. Question Form

The question form in the simple future tense is great for asking about future possibilities or plans.

Question Form

You start with “Will,” then add the subject (like “she,” “he,” or “they”), and follow with the base form of the verb (V1). To make a question, it will be “Will she go to Thailand?”

So, mastering the simple future tense is really straightforward. By remembering the structure and where to place “will,” you can easily talk about your future plans.
