VO with Text on Screen and the images.Blink the dialogues as the text is
spoken on the VO.
The structure of the simple indefinite future tense is:
Subject + will/shall + MV1
‘Shall’ goes with ‘I’ and ‘We’
With all other forms of the subject, ’will’ is used as the helping verb.
For example:
IIMAGE II
mo Af sle
t I sh te ep
to
all her. rf
hel oo
pm
y d
Iw
ill
go
.
The boy will win the race.
He will go by train.
For negative sentences in the Future Indefinite tense, we insert ‘not’ between
the auxiliary verb and the main verb. For question sentences, we exchange
the subject and helping verb. Look at these example sentences with the Future
Indefinite tense.
subject helping verb main verb

+ I shall open the door.
+ You will finish before me.
- She will not be at school tomorrow.
- We shall not leave yet.
? Will you arrive on time?
? Will they want dinner?
When we use the simple future tense in speaking, we often contract the subject
and auxiliary verb:
I will I'll
you will you'll
he will he'll
she will she'll
it will it'll
we shall we'll
they will they'll
For negative sentences in the simple future tense, we contract with won't, like
this:
I will not I won't
you will not you won't
he will not he won't
she will not she won't
it will not it won't
we will not we won't
they will not they won't

Let’s now learn how to use the Future indefinite Tense.
SUPER
How do we use the Future Indefinite Tense?
Text on screen with VO, Along with Image II.
No Plan
We use the Future Indefinite tense when there is no plan or decision to do
something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of
speaking. Look at these examples:
• Hold on. I'll get a pen.
• We shall see what we can do to help you.
• Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.
In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at
the time of speaking.
MM-II-----The image II to be shown, with the dialogue blinking with the text,
as it is read.
We often use the simple future tense with the verb to think before it:
• I think I shall go to the gym tomorrow.
• I think I shall have a holiday with my family next year I don't think I'll buy
I think I shall
go for a
holiday with
my family,
next year.
that car. IMAGE-II

6. PES/ENG/IX/012
Prediction
We often use the Indefinite Future tense to make a prediction about the future.
Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are
some examples:
• It will rain tomorrow.
• People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
• Who do you think will get the job?
Be
When the main verb is be, we can use the Future Indefinite tense even if we
have a firm plan or decision before speaking. Examples:
• I shall be in Delhi tomorrow.
• I'm going shopping. I won't be very long.
• Will you be at work tomorrow?

For negative sentences in the future continuous tense, we insert ‘not’ between
‘will’ and ‘be’. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and’ will.’

How do we use the Future Continuous Tense?
ANCHOR-4
The future continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the
future. The action will start before that moment but it will not have finished at that
moment. For example,’ Tomorrow I shall start work at 2pm and stop it at
6pm:’
At 4pm tomorrow, I will be working.
past present future
4pm
At 4pm, I shalll be in the
middle of working.
When we use the future continuous tense, our listener usually knows or
understands what time we are talking about. Look at these examples:
VO with Text on Screen
• Ishall be playing tennis at 10am tomorrow.
• They won't be watching TV at 9pm tonight.
• What will you be doing at 10pm tonight?
• What will you be doing when I arrive?
• She will not be sleeping when you telephone her.
• We shall be having dinner when the film starts.
• Take your umbrella. It will be raining when you return.
ANCHOR-5
The future perfect tense is quite an easy tense to understand and use. The
future perfect tense talks about the past in the future .It denotes an action that
will have been completed at some point of time in the future.
Eg.We shall have finished the program by that time.
I shall have left for Mumbai when you come tomorrow.

? Will they have received it?
In speaking with the future perfect tense, we often contract the subject and will.
Sometimes, we contract the subject, will and have all together:
I will have I'll have I'll've
you will have you'll have you'll've
he will have he'll have he'll've
she will have she'll have she'll've
it will have it'll have it'll've
