THE SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE
1. Use:
The Simple Future tense is used to express actions which will
take place in the future;
--> They will finish the work tomorrow.
--> He will arrive next Saturday.
a) Will is used to talk about a future fact:
--> The Mayor will open the new museum next Tuesday.
b) Will can be used to make a prediction;
--> I think it will be hot and sunny tomorrow.
c) Will is also used to express an intention or decision made at
the moment of speaking:
--> It's very hot in here. I'll open the window.
2. Formation:
The Simple Future of any verb is formed from the auxiliary will
or shall, followed by the bare infinitive of the verb.
In informal English, particularly in American English, the Simple
Future is usually conjugated entirely with the auxiliary will.
The auxiliary will is a modal auxiliary. Modal auxiliaries do not
modify, but have the same form, regardless of the subject.
The auxiliary will is often contracted to 'll. Thus, in informal
English, the Simple Future of the verb to work is usually
conjugated as follows:
Without Contractions With Contractions
I will work ----I'll work

she will work -----she'll work
