Kapan kita mengunakan Simple Future Tense?

a. Tidak Ada Rencana Sebelumnya

Kita menggunakan Tense ini ketika tidak ada rencana atau keputusan untuk melakukan sesuatu sebelum kita
berbicara. Kita membuat keputusannya secara spontan pada saat bicara. Perhatikan contoh berikut:

 Hold on. I‘ll get a pen.

 We will see what we can do to help you.
 Maybe we‘ll stay in and watch television tonight.

b. Prediksi

Kita sering menggunakan Tense ini untuk membaut prediksi di masa mendatang. Lagi-lagi tidak ada rencana.
Kita hanya berusaha mengucapkan apa yang kita fikir akan terjadi. Contoh:

 It will rain tomorrow.

 People won’t go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
 Who do you think will get the job?
KALIMAT NON-VERBAL

Ketika predikat suatu kalimat bukan kata kerja, maka gunakan be untuk menggantikan kata kerja tersebut.
Contoh:

 I‘ll be in London tomorrow.

 I’m going shopping. I won’t be very long.
 Will you be at work tomorrow?

Catatan:
Ketika kita mempunyai rencana atau keinginan untuk melakukan suatu kegiatan di
masa yang akan datang, maka gunakan be going to atau Present Continuous Tense
untuk menggantikan will/s

Will vs Going to

Kalau kita ingin berbicara tentang kenyataan di masa yang akan datang, atau kita percaya bahwa sesuatu itu
akan menjadi kenyataan di masa mendatang, maka gunakanlah 'will'.

 The President will serve for four years.

 The boss won't be very happy.
 I'm sure you'll like her.
 I'm certain he'll do a good job.

Kalau kita tidak yakin, gunakan 'will' dengan ekspresi seperti 'probably', 'possibly', 'I think', 'I hope'.

 I hope you'll visit me in my home one day.

 She'll probably be a great success.
 I'll possibly come but I may not get back in time.
 I think we'll get on well.

Namun jika kita membuat prediksi di masa mendatang berdasarkan fakta yang ada pada saat sekarang, maka
gunakanlah 'going to'.

 Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day.

 Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours.
 The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight.
 Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.

Kita membuat keputusan mendadak pada saat bicara (tidak ada rencana sebelumnya), maka gunakanlah 'will'.
Namun kalau sudah direncanakan dengan matang, gunakanlah 'going to'.

 I'll call Jenny to let her know. Sarah, I need Jenny's number. I'm going to call her about the meeting.
 I'll come and have a drink with you but I must let Harry know. Harry, I'm going to have a drink with
Simon.
