The future tense expresses an action that will happen.
a) We use the helping verbs will or shall to form the future tense.
I will/shall play
you will/shall play he/she will/shall play we will/shall play
you will/shall play they will/shall play
We shall always march ahead. We will prevail.
a) You can also form the future tense by using am, is, or are with going to.
Example: He is going to change how people think about segregation. b) Another way to form a future tense is by using the present tense of the
verb with an adverb that shows the action taking place in the future. Example: He speaks tomorrow.
