LESSON NOTE
STEP 1: EXPLANATION OF SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE
A future action is one which will occur at any moment from the time of speech. The time
located for the action could be in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or even
years. The simple future tense is used when the action is yet to take place but the time is
located at some point after the moment of speech.
i. Mr. Victor will travel tomorrow to London.

ii. The plan will leave tomorrow.
iii. I shall visit them later today.
iv. I shall do the task next week.
v. Valerie visits Lagos tomorrow.
STEP I: THE USE OF THE AUXILIARY WILL/SHALL TO EXPRESS FUTURE ACTION
There are ways to express futurity (i.e. future actions), but the most common among them is
the combination of the modal auxiliary verb will/shall plus the base form of the main verb.
Adverbials that denote future time such as tonight, tomorrow, next year, in the evening, at
midnight, etc. are very important in making a future statement. Examples:
1. Ledisi will dance.

2. Chioma will sing in the church tomorrow.
3. We shall see the principal at 10.00 a.m.
NOTE: that in the future tense, when the subject is I or we, we use shall and will when the
subject is he, it, she, they and all nouns.
STEP II: THE USE OF ‘GOING TO’ TO EXPRESS FUTURE ACTION

Other ways of forming the simple future tense is the combination of the primary auxiliary
verb “be” plus “going to” plus the main verb, that is: be + going to + main verb. Remember
that the conjugated forms of be are am, is, are, was, were, been, being, and be. However, only
the present forms: ‘are, am, is,’ are used in this combination.
i. John is going to see Luke tomorrow.

ii. It is going to rain in the evening.
iii. My mother is going to attend the meeting.
iv. We are going to eat yam in the evening.
v. I am going to vote on 11th of March, 2023.
vi. INEC is going to rig the election.
STEP III: THE USE OF THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE TO EXPRESS FUTURE ACTION
The simple present tense can also be used to express a future action, in which case an
adverbial indicating future time is mandatorily added to complete the meaning of the verb.
1. The train for Enugu leaves at midnight.

2. John sees Luke tomorrow.
3. The president visits Port Harcourt tomorrow.
4. My uncle leaves Bori for Port Harcourt next week.
