Verb Tenses - Simple Future

The Simple Future Tense is used to express an action or situation that will occur in the future.

It has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to."

We use “will” when the subject is volunteering to do something in the future or deciding to do something in the future while speaking.

Examples:

I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it.
Will you help me move this heavy table?
I will not do your homework for you.

Sometimes the simple future tense is expressed using “am,” “is,” or “are” with “going to.”

This form is used when something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not:

He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.
I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.
Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.

The simple future tense is also expressed by using a verb in the simple present tense form with an adverb or adverbial phrase like tomorrow, next, later, soon, next week, etc:

We leave for Venezuela next Tuesday.
Yin performs her piano solo next.

There are two types of questions in this assessment.

Follow the appropriate instructions for each question type:
