2. U s a g e

The Future Indefinite is used to denote:

  1. decisions taken at the moment of speaking (on-the-spot decisions): Since it's getting dark, I'll turn on the light.

  2. hopes, fears, threats, offers, promises, warnings, predictions, requests, comments etc., especially with: expect, hope, believe, I'm sure, I'm afraid, probably, etc.: I'm afraid I'll be a little late.

  3. actions or predictions which may (not) happen in the future: She'll probably buy this dress (prediction);

or actions which we cannot control or will inevitably happen: He will be twenty next year.

  1. future actions in the object clauses of a compound sentence: I don't know if (whether) the play will be a success. I wonder when he will come back.

Remember:

The Present Indefinite is used instead of the Future Indefinite to denote a future action in the adverbial clauses of time and condition (after the conjunctions: when, before, after, till, until, as soon as, if = whether, unless): I'll call you as soon as he comes. If the weather is fine tomorrow we'll go to the country.

Remember the difference in the use of if and unless: We'll go to the country if it doesn't rain tomorrow. We'll go to the country unless it rains tomorrow.

The following time expressions can be used with the Future Indefinite: tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week/ month/ year, in some days, soon, in a week/ month, in an hour, in half an hour, etc.
