¿Qué es?

In grammar, a future tense (abbreviated FUT) is a verb form that marks the event described by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the future (in an absolute tense system), or to happen subsequent to some other event, whether that is past, present, or future (in a relative tense system).

¿Cómo se forma?

Podemos diferenciar diferentes tiempos para formar el futuro.

“Will” for future

As we learned before “will” as a future form has several important uses:

1. For prediciton   In the year 2020, the divorce rate will be over 50%.

2. For promises and offers   Don’t worry, I’ll help you.

3. For refusals   It’s no use asking. I won’t tell you anything.

4. For requests   Will you marry me?

The Future Continuous (Progressive)

USE 1 Interrupted Action in the Future Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.

USE 2 Specific Time as an Interruption in the Future In USE 1, described above, the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.

USE 3 Parallel Actions in the Future When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.

The Future Perfect

USE 1 Completed Action Before Something in the Future The Future Perfect expresses the idea that something will occur before another action in the future. It can also show that something will happen before a specific time in the future.

USE 2 Duration Before Something in the Future (Non-Continuous Verbs) We use the Future Perfect to show that something will continue up until another action in the future.
