2. When there are definite signs that something is going to
happen:
It's so cold! I think it is going to snow.

verb

+ You will

finish before me.
- She will
not
be at school
tomorrow.

not
leave yet.

want dinner?
For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we
insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary
verb.
WILL-SENTENCES
No Plan
We use the future simple tense when there is no plan or
decision to do something before we speak. We make the
decision spontaneously at the time of speaking.

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.

In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking.
The decision is made at the time of speaking.
WILL-SENTENCES
We often use the future simple tense with the verb to
think before it:

I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow.
I think I will have a holiday next year.
I don't think I'll buy that car.

Prediction
We often use the future simple tense to make a prediction about
the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we
think will happen.
People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
Who do you think will get the job?

WILL
I will I'll
you will you'll
he will
she will
it will
he'll
she'll
it'll
we will we'll
they will they'll

When we use the future simple tense in speaking, we often
contract the subject and auxiliary verb:


WILL negative sentences
I will not I won't
you will not you won't
he will not
she will not
it will not
he won't
she won't
it won't
we will not we won't
they will not they won't
For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we
contract with won't, like this:
WILL Vs GOING TO
