A. Simple future tense

Simple future tense comes from the word "simple" which means simple, "future"
which means the future and "tense" which means time / time. So simple future tense can be
interpreted as a simple form of verb that describes an action or event that will be carried
out in the future. This verb is used to express a desire (what will be done), to make
predictions (predict what events will occur) and to make conditional sentence type 1 (if
combined with other clauses using the conjunction "if"). In addition, if arranged in the form
of question sentences (interrogative), simple future tense can be to make an offer / request
(offer / order) and advice / advice (suggestion / advice).

Formula of Simple Future Tense Examples

positif (+) He will win.

(Dia akan menang.)
 S + will + bare infinitive

They are going to come.

 S + be (am/is/are) going to + bare infinitive (Mereka akan datang.)

negatif (-) He won’t win.

(Dia tidak akan menang.)
 S + will + not + bare infinitive

They aren’t going to come.

 S + be (am/is/are) + not + going to + bare infinitive (Mereka tidak akan datang.)

interogatif (?) Will he win?

(Apakah dia akan menang?)
 Will + S + bare infinitive

Are they going to come?

 Be (am/is/are) + S + going to + bare infinitive? (Apakah mereka akan datang?)

Notes:

Nana, Budi, etc)

  Subjects that may use shall may also use will but 3rd singular person may not use
shall
 Will does not experience changes in form as in the simple present tense, for example
to "wills" or "will goes" but remains intact "will" or "will go" even though the subject
is a 3rd singular person (she, he, it, Nana, Budi, etc. ).
 Will not abbreviated won't willn't
 Shall not abbreviated shan't not shalln't

is verb tense that describes actions that will continue up until a pont in the future. When we
describe an action in the future perfect continuous tense, we are projecting ourselves
forward in time and looking back at the duration of that activity. The activity will have begun
sometime in the past, present, or in the future, and is expected to continue in the future.

(+) Subject + will/shall + have been + V1ing + object

(-) Subject + will not/shall not + have been + V1ing + object

(?) will/shall+ Subject + have been + V1ing + object
