Будущее время

В английском языке 6 способов передачи будущего времени.
В разговорном английском наиболее часто используются

·Future Indefinite

·Future Continuous

·Present Continuous

·Future Perfect

·To be Going to

·Present Continuous

К сожалению, выбор каждого вида будущего времени в английском языке не столь строго ограничен, как в случае с временами группы Past и Present . При выборе времени здесь важнее учитывать спонтанность принятия решения о совершении действия, наличие уверенности говорящего в том, что действие произойдет. Например, Future Indefinite используется, когда действие произойдет в будущем, но решение о выполнении действия принято спонтанно. АPresent Continuous используется, когда действие произойдет, и говорящий хочет выразить свою уверенность в этом.

Более подробную информацию по использованию каждого конкретного времени можно найти в соответствующих разделах "Использование...".

N. B. Любое будущее время английского языка переводится на русский язык только будущим временем.

Future Indefinite

Образование утвердительного высказывания

Для образования времени Future Indefinite используется вспомогательный глагол will или shall.

Для глаголов 2 и 3 лиц единственного и множественного чисел:

will + глагол

Для глаголов 1 лица единственного и множественного чисел:

shall + глагол

или

will + глагол

(в разговорной речи).

В разговорной речи предпочтительней использовать сокращенную форму:

I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, it'll, we'll, they'll.

Образование вопросов

Для образования общих, специальных и альтернативных вопросов вспомогательный глагол will или shall, который используется в утвердительном предложении, ставят перед подлежащим.

Например,
утвердительное предложениеI shall buy this dress someday.

общий вопрос Shall I buy this dress someday?

специальный вопрос What shall I buy someday?

N. B. В специальных вопросах к подлежащему порядок слов сохраняется таким же, как и в утвердительном предложении.

Образование отрицаний

Для образования отрицаний после вспомогательного глагола will или shall в утвердительном предложении ставят частицу not.

Например,
утвердительное предложениеI shall go fo a walk tomorrow.

отрицание I shall not go fo a walk tomorrow.

В разговорной речи предпочтительней использовать сокращенную форму:

shan't = shall not,

won't = will not.
