How it works
The simple future can mark future time, but it also appears in guesses and assumptions about the present. This pattern typically appears as infinitive + future ending and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- The future endings attach to the infinitive.
- Sometimes the form signals probability rather than a firm plan.
Why it matters
Handle plans, politeness, and less direct meaning.
Use in context
This tense becomes more interesting once you notice its modal uses, not just its calendar uses.
