Usamos o simple future, ou future simple, para falar de situações que acontecerão num tempo posterior ao presente. Podemos usá-lo para falar de situações que estamos certos que vão ocorrer, ou para fazer previsões, promessas, e, também, para falar de nossos planos e intenções.
Temos dois modos principais de formar o simple future: usando will ou going to. Fique ligado que vamos explicar quando cada um deles é usado.
Usamos will no simple future em diversas situações. Sua conjugação é a mesma para todas as pessoas, e também possui uma forma contraída. Na negativa, temos will not ou apenas won’t. Veja a tabela:
