Pengertian Simple Future Tense

Simple future tense adalah suatu bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk menyatakan
bahwa suatu aksi terjadi dimasa depan, secara spontan atau terencana.

Tense ini juga dapat digunakan untuk membentuk conditional sentence tipe 1.

Rumus Simple Future Tense

Simple future tense dibentuk dari modal “will” atau “shall” dan bare infinitive (bentuk
dasar verb) atau dibentuk dari phrasal modal “be going to” dan bare infinitive (base
form verb).

Dengan demikian rumus simple future tense untuk kalimat positif, negatif, dan

interogatif sebagai berikut.

Jenis Rumus Contoh Simple Future

Kalimat Tense
positif S + will + bare infinitive You will win
(+) S + be (am/is/are) going to + bare infinitive They are going to come
negatif S + will + not + bare infinitive You won’t win
(-) S + be (am/is/are) + not + going to + bare They aren’t going to
infinitive come
interogatif Will + S + bare infinitive Will you win
(?) Be (am/is/are) + S + going to + bare Are they going to come
infinitive?

Simple Future Tense dan Present Continuous Tense

Present continuous tense (selain verb “go”) dapat juga digunakan untuk menyatakan
aksi di masa depan seperti simple future tense:

I’m presenting the weekly report at today’s meeting.

Selain itu, kombinasi will dan be + present participle juga dapat digunakan untuk
menghindari nada tidak sabar (impatient) atau mendesak (insistent). Kalimat akan
terdengar demikian jika hanya ada “will” (tanpa be+present participle)
karena stress (penekanan) hanya terjadi pada kata tersebut.

When will you present it?

When will you be presenting it?

Future Tense atau Simple Future digunakan untuk menyatakan peristiwa yang Akan

Depan”. Karena itu dalam Future Tense penggunaan kata Will, Shall yang artinya akan
pastilah mendominasi.

Past, Present dan Future (Dulu, Kini, Nanti).

Pegang ini kuat-kuat:

Setiap Future pasti pakai WILL atau SHALL, artinya AKAN. Namun ada juga yang
namanya Past Future Tense nanti. Karena Past maka Will dan Shall nya pakai past juga
yaitu “Would”, nanti kita pelajari lebih dalam di Past Future Tense. Oh ya, sesudah Will
atau Shall atau Would pasilah diikuti bentuk 1 baik itu kata kerja atau kata kerja bantu.

Rumus Future Tense

Positif: S + will + V1
Negatif: S + will + not + V1
Tanya: Will + S + V1

Shall jarang digunakan. Bisanya Shall untuk Subject I dan We (I shall…, We shall….) dan
tidak untuk yang lain. Tetapi lebih sering orang pakai I will.. dan We will.. Jadi untuk I
dan We boleh pakai baik will atau shall. Sedangkan Subject yang lain seperti HE, SHE, IT,
YOU, THEY, WE semuanya pakai Will. Kalau begitu, untuk mempermudah pemahaman
saya HANYA akan gunakan WILL saja. Kan “WIL” itu enak toh? Itu tuh yang L nya satu!
haha… becanda ya.

 Future tense
In grammar, a future tense is a verb form that generally marks the event described by
the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the future. An example
of a future tense form is the French aimera, meaning "will love", derived from the verb
aimer ("love"). English does not have a future tense formed by verb inflection in this
way, although it has a number of ways to express the future, particularly the
construction with the auxiliary verb will or shall or is/am/are going to and grammarians
differ in whether they describe such constructions as representing a future tense in
English.

The "future" expressed by the future tense usually means the future relative to the
moment of speaking, although in contexts where relative tense is used it may mean the
future relative to some other point in time under consideration. Future tense can be
denoted by the glossing abbreviation FUT.

Expressions
The nature of the future, necessarily uncertain and at varying distances ahead, means
that the speaker may refer to future events with the modality either of probability (what
the speaker expects to happen) or intent (what the speaker plans to make happen). [1]
Whether future expression is realis or irrealis depends not so much on an objective
ontological notion of future reality, but rather on the degree of the speaker's conviction
that the event will in fact come about.[2]:p.20

In many languages there is no grammatical (morphological or syntactic) indication of

future tense. Future meaning is supplied by the context, with the use of temporal
adverbs such as "later", "next year", etc. Such adverbs (in particular words meaning
"tomorrow" and "then") sometimes develop into grammaticalized future tense markers.
(A tense used to refer specifically to occurrences taking place on the following day is
called a crastinal tense.)

In other languages, mostly of European origin, specific markers indicate futurity. These
structures constitute a future tense. In many cases, an auxiliary verb is used, as in
English, where futurity is often indicated by the modal auxiliary will (or shall). However,
some languages combine such an auxiliary with the main verb to produce a simple (one-
word, morphological) future tense. This is the origin of the future tense in Western
Romance languages such as French and Italian (see below).

A given language may have more than one way to express futurity. English, for example,
often refers to future events using present tense forms or other structures such as the
going-to future, besides the canonical form with will/shall. In addition, the verb forms
used for the future tense can also be used to express other types of meaning; English
again provides examples of this (see English modal verbs for the various meanings that
both will and shall can have besides simply expressing futurity).

Expressions of relative tense

It is sometimes possible to mark the time of an occurrence as being in the past or future
not relative to the present moment (the moment of speaking), but relative to a time of
reference, which can itself be in the past or future (or in some hypothetical reality)
relative to the present moment. (See relative tense.) Thus an occurrence may be
marked as taking place in the "past of the future", "future of the past", etc. (For the
"past of the past", see pluperfect.)

The past of the future, marking an occurrence expected to take place before some
future reference time, is typically marked by a future perfect form (in languages that
have such a form), as in the English "I will have finished by tomorrow afternoon."

The "future of the past" may be expressed in various ways in English. It is possible to use
would in its capacity as the past tense of the future marker will (see English modal verbs
and future-in-the-past); for example: "The match started at midday but would not end
until the evening." It is also possible to use the past tense of other expressions that
express future reference, as in "I was going to wait"; "I was to wait"; "I was about to
wait." Such expressions can also be put into other tenses and moods (and non-finite
forms), to achieve future reference in hypothetical and future situations, e.g., "I would
be going to take part if ..."; "I will be about to leave." More examples can be found in
the section Expressions of relative future in the article on the going-to future.

Germanic languages
In Germanic languages, including English, a common expression of the future is using
the present tense, with the futurity expressed using words that imply future action (I go
to Berlin tomorrow or I am going to Berlin tomorrow). There is no simple
(morphological) future tense as such. However, the future can also be expressed by
employing an auxiliary construction that combines certain present tense auxiliary verbs
with the simple infinitive (stem) of the main verb. These auxiliary forms vary between
the languages. Other, generally more informal, expressions of futurity use an auxiliary
with the compound infinitive of the main verb (as with the English is going to ...).

English

English grammar provides a number of ways to indicate the future nature of an

occurrence. Some argue that English does not have a future tense—that is, a
grammatical form that always indicates futurity—nor does it have a mandatory form for
the expression of futurity. However, there are several generally accepted ways to
indicate futurity in English, and some of them—particularly those that use will or shall—
are frequently described as future tense.

The will/shall future consists of the modal verb will or shall together with the bare
infinitive of the main verb, as in "He will win easily" or "I shall do it when time permits".
(Prescriptive grammarians prefer will in the second and third persons and shall in the
first person, reversing the forms to express obligation or determination, but in practice
shall and will are generally used interchangeably,[3] with will being more common. For
details see shall and will.) The meaning of this construction is close to that expressed by
the future tense in other languages. However the same construction with will or shall
can have other meanings that do not indicate futurity, or else indicate some modality in
addition to futurity (as in "He will make rude remarks", meaning he has a habit of doing
so, or, "You shall act on my behalf", giving an order). For details of these meanings, see
the sections on will and shall in the article on English modal verbs.

The form of the will/shall future described above is frequently called the simple future
(or future simple). Other constructions provide additional auxiliaries that express
particular aspects: the future progressive (or future continuous) as in "He will be
working"; the future perfect as in "We will have finished"; and the future perfect
progressive as in "I will have been practicing." For detail on these, see the relevant
sections of Uses of English verb forms. (For more on expressions of relative tense, such
as the future perfect, see also the section above.)

Several other English constructions commonly refer to the future:

 Present tense forms, as in "The train leaves at 5," or, "My cousins arrive
tomorrow." Since these grammatical forms are used more canonically to refer to
present situations, they are not generally described as future tense; in sentences
like those just given they may be described as "present tense with future
meaning". Use of the present tense (rather than forms with will) is mandatory in
some subordinate clauses referring to the future, such as "If I feel better next
week, ..." and "As soon as they arrive, ...". For more details see the sections on
the simple present, present progressive and dependent clauses in the article on
English verb forms.
 The going-to future, e.g., "John is going to leave tonight."
 The construction with a finite form of the copula verb be together with the to-
infinitive, e.g., "John is to leave tonight". (With the zero copula of newspaper
headline style, this becomes simply "John to leave tonight".) For details see am
to.
 The construction with to be about to, e.g., "John is about to leave", referring to
the expected immediate future. (A number of lexical expressions with similar
meaning also exist, such as to be on the point of (doing something).)
 Use of modal verbs with future meaning, to combine the expression of future
time with certain modality: "I must do this" (also mun in Northern English
 dialect); "We should help him"; "I can get out of here"; "We may win"; "You
might succeed". The same modal verbs are also often used with present rather
than future reference. For details of their meanings and usage, see English modal
verbs.

Questions and negatives are formed from all of the above constructions in the regular
manner: see Questions and Negation in the English grammar article. The auxiliaries will
and shall form the contracted negations won't and shan't (they can also sometimes be
contracted when not negated, to 'll).

The various ways of expressing the future carry different meanings, implying not just
futurity but also aspect (the way an action or state takes place in time) and/or modality
(the attitude of the speaker toward the action or state). [2][4] The precise interpretation
must be based on the context. In particular there is sometimes a distinction in usage
between the will/shall future and the going-to future (although in some contexts they
are interchangeable). For more information see the going-to future article.
