Unit 6. Future Simple and Future Progressive

A. Future Simple

B. Future Progressive

A. Future Simple

Утвердительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов shall (для первого лица единственного и множественного числа), will (для всех остальных лиц) и основного глагола в инфинитиве без частицы to:

Ishall read.

He will read.

Примечание: В современном английском языке есть тенденция к употреблению вспомогательного глагола will для всех лиц.

В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим:

Shall I read?

Willhe read?

Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи отрицания not, которое ставится после вспомогательного глагола:

I shall not (shan’t) read.

He will not (won’t) read.

Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма

She will work	Will she work?	She will not work
