Future Tense for Dummies

Hey there! Let's talk about what "Future Tense" means, shall we?

Well, imagine that you and your friend are having a conversation, and you want to talk about something that happened in the past. You would use a specific way of speaking, right? You might say something like, "Yesterday, I played soccer with my friends." This way, you're talking about an event that already happened.

But what if you want to talk about something that will happen in the future? That's where the future tense comes in. It's like a special way of speaking that helps us talk about things that haven't happened yet, but will happen later on.

Let's use an example to make it easier to understand. Imagine you have a birthday coming up. You might say, "Next week, I will have a birthday party!" Here, "will have" is the future tense because you're talking about something that will happen in the future, next week.

We can also use the future tense to talk about plans or intentions. For instance, if you were planning to go to the park with your friends tomorrow, you might say, "Tomorrow, I am going to the park with my friends." Here, "am going" is the future tense because you're talking about something you're planning to do in the future.

Another way to use the future tense is when talking about predictions or things that are likely to happen. For example, let's say it's raining outside, and you want to guess what the weather will be like tomorrow. You might say, "I think it will be sunny tomorrow." In this case, "will be" is expressing a prediction or something that might happen in the future.

So, in simpler terms, "Future Tense" is a way of speaking that helps us talk about things that will happen in the future.
