1 Simple Future Tense

2 Simple Future Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to” Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they sometimes express a slightly different meaning. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to an expected action or state some time in the future.

3 Simple Future - Forms FORM: Will [will + base form of the verb]
Examples: She will help him later. Will you help him later? Invert the subject and the helping verb “will” to ask a question He will not help him later. I will never eat another banana. I will sometimes sneak an extra cup of coffee. Insert adverbs between helping verb “will” and main verb

4 Simple Future - Forms FORM: Be Going To
[am/is/are + going to + the base form of the verb] Examples: You are going to watch a baseball game tonight. I am going to meet Barby at Target this afternoon. Are you going to meet Jane at the game? Invert the subject with the proper form of the “be” portion of the expression She is not going to watch the game tonight. Insert an adverb (not) between the proper form of the “be” portion of the expression and main verb Reduced speech: “going ta” or “gunna”

5 Simple Future - Uses USE 1 "Will" to express a voluntary action in the future The speaker volunteers to do something. I will send John the information. Request help from someone (usually as a question) Will you help me move this heavy table? Respond to someone's request for help. Yes, I’ll help you do your homework Positive response I will not do your homework for you. I won't do all the housework myself! Refuse to do something.

6 Simple Future - Uses USE 2 "Will" to express a promise
"Will" is usually used in promises. When expressing a promise, the word “will” is a little more emphasized; while the “base verb” is a little more emphasized in voluntary actions. Examples: I will call you when I arrive. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party. I won't tell anyone your secret.

7 Simple Future - Uses USE 3 “Be going to” to express a plan
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future (that is, thought about and decided to do it).

8 Simple Future - Uses USE 3 “Be going to” to express a plan
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future (that is, thought about and decided to do it).

Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.

9 Simple Future - Uses USE 4 "Will" or "Be Going to" to give information about the future or express a prediction Predictions are statements about what the speaker thinks will happen in the future Both forms can be used to express the idea of a general prediction about the future.

12 Revelation 22:1-4 (page 1264) 1 Then the angel showed me a pure river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.

24 Revelation 22:1-4 (page 1264) 3 No longer will anything be cursed. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. 4 And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. Who is “the Lamb” in verse 3? It is God’s Promised Savior (Jesus). Why a Lamb? The readers of the book would have been familiar with the Old Testament sacrifices, where a lamb was killed as payment for disobedience to God. The death of a lamb was not really adequate to pay for disobedience – but it pointed toward a time when there would be a sacrifice that was adequate to pay for disobedience – God’s Promised savior. His sacrifice bought us forgiveness and the right to be in the new heaven and the new earth. Jesus was that sacrifice. To emphasize that, one of his names is “the Lamb” or “the Lamb of God” (that is, the Lamb provided by God). No longer will anything be cursed - simple future - passive voice; worded to emphasize that the curse, brought on by Adam and Eve’s disobedience and desire to know evil (recall the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) is gone forever! For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him” - both are simple future active voice; could be viewed as either promises or statements about a future state. 4 And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. “will see” is simple future active voice while will be written is simple future passive voice – His name – God’s name is placed on our foreheads; so the subject (his name) is not acting, but being acted upon. And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. All three will be, will shine, and will reign are simple future – active voice verbs.
