§ 1. Future Simple

(Простое будущее время)

The world leaders will arrive

here tomorrow. They will have plenty to talk about, but

they won‟t be here for long – only 24 hours. You‟ll hear live reports every hour.

139

Глаголы во временной форме Future Simple выражают действия, относящиеся к будущему времени. Эта временная форма может обозначать как однократные (He will be back in two days), так и повто-

ряющиеся (She will take English lessons twice a week) действия.

They will return in ten minutes.

Они вернутся через десять минут.

We shall not have all these lessons next week.

У нас не будет всех этих занятий на будущей неделе.

Слитно-сокращенные формы вспомогательных глаголов shall и will с частицей not:

shall not shan‟t [ʃa:nt]

Временная форма Future Simple обычно употребляется с обстоятельствами времени:

tonight (сегодня вечером) tomorrow (завтра)

the day after tomorrow (послезавтра)

next week (month, year) (на будущей неделе, в будущем месяце, в будущем году)

next day (time) (на следующий день, в следующий раз)

in two days (weeks, months, years) (через два дня/ недели/

месяца/ года)

В предложениях с глаголом-сказуемым в Future Simple после shall или will встречаются наречия probably (вероятно), certainly

(конечно).

140

В придаточных предложениях условия или времени сказуемое употребляется не в Future Simple, как это требуется по смыслу, а в Present Simple, и переводится на русский

язык глаголом в будущем времени.
