Simple future tense的意思

"Simple future tense" is a term used in English grammar to describe one of the verb tenses used to talk about future actions or events. It is called "simple" because it does not involve any auxiliary verbs (like "will" or "be going to") to express future time. Instead, it uses the base form of the verb, typically followed by the word "will."

In English, the simple future tense is formed by adding "will" or "shall" before the main verb. The "shall" form is more commonly used in the first person (I/we), while "will" is used for all other persons (you, he/she/it, they). Here are some examples:

• I shall go to the store.
• We shall meet tomorrow.
• You will be late if you don't hurry.
• He will finish his homework tonight.
• They will win the match.

In many other languages, including many European languages, the simple future tense is formed by changing the ending of the verb, without the use of an auxiliary verb like "will." However, in English, the simple future tense always involves the use of "will" or "shall."

It's important to note that the simple future tense is just one way to talk about future actions in English. Other ways include the use of "be going to," "be about to," "be scheduled to," and other constructions that are used to express different aspects of future time, such as certainty, intention, prediction, or planning.
