Introduction We express in more than simply the time of the action or event that takes place. ‘Future' tense will refer to a time that is still to come, but it may also express our attitude to the future event.
Simple Future Tense Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to". Though the two forms can sometimes be used one in place of the other. These both are used to express two different aspects and have different meanings.
