how is the future formed with the auxiliary verb will in the english language?

The future with the auxiliary verb will is formed with the pattern:
subject + will + base form of the verb (infinitive without “to”).

Basic structure

• Affirmative: Subject + will + verb (base form)
  • I will work tomorrow.

• Negative: Subject + will not (won’t) + verb
  • She will not come. / She won’t come.

• Yes/no question: Will + subject + verb?
  • Will they help?

• Wh-question: Wh-word + will + subject + verb?
  • When will you arrive?

“Will” does not change with the person (I/you/he/she/it/we/they all use **will

• verb**).

When “will” is used

Common uses of the simple future with will include:

• Spontaneous decisions at the moment of speaking
  • “Okay, I’ll help you.”

• Predictions or assumptions about the future
  • “It will rain tomorrow.”

• Promises, offers, refusals
  • “I will call you later.”

• Future events that cannot be changed (in some explanations)
  • “The sun will rise at 6 a.m.”

All of these still follow the same formation rule: will + base verb , with negatives formed by adding not after “will” and questions by moving “will” before the subject.
