Unit 6. Future Simple and Future Progressive

A. Future Simple

B . Future Progressive

1. Future Simple

Утвердительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов shall (для первого лица единственного и множественного числа), will (для всех остальных лиц) и основного глагола в инфинитиве без частицы to:

I shall read.

He will read.

Примечание: В современном английском языке есть тенденция к употреблению вспомогательного глагола will для всех лиц.

В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим:

Shall I read?

Will he read?

Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи отрицания not, которое ставится после вспомогательного глагола:

I shall not (shan’t) read.

He will not (won’t) read.

Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
I shall work	Shall I work?	I shall not work
He will work	Will he work?	He will not work
She will work	Will she work?	She will not work
We shall work	Shall we work?	We shall not work
You will work	Will you work?	You will not work
They will work	Will they work?	They will not work

Future Simple употребляется для выражения обычных действий, которые произойдут или будут происходить в будущем. Future Simple обозначает как однократное, так и повторяющееся действие и переводится на русский язык будущим временем глагола совершенного и несовершенного вида. Future Simple не употребляется в придаточных предложениях условия и времени - в этих случаях употребляется Present Simple.
