SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE (FUTURO SIMPLE)

   1)      Futuro Cercano:

Se utiliza para expresar situaciones que ocurrirán en el futuro, aunque más cercano. Para hablar sobre eventos o planes previamente pautados. En este tiempo verbal se utiliza la fórmula TO BE (correspondiente a cada pronombre) + GOING TO + VERBO PRINCIPAL EN INFINITIVO, por ejemplo:

I am going to play soccer this afternoon. Voy a jugar al fútbol esta tarde. You are going to study the lesson. Tú vas a estudiar la lección. He is going to finish his work. Él va a terminar su trabajo.

-          Estructura de "be going to"  

Afirmativo	Negativo	Pregunta
I am going to dance He is going to dance She is going to dance It is going to dance You are going to dance We are going to dance They are going to dance	I am not going to dance He is not going to dance She isn´t going to dance It is not going to dance You are not going to dance We aren´t going to dance They are going to dance	Am I going to dance? Is he going to dance? Is she going to dance? Is it going to dance? Are you going to dance? Are we going to dance? Are they going to dance?

      2)      Futuro Lejano:

El Futuro Lejano o Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que se van a desarrollar en el futuro sin necesidad de aclarar en que momento se producirán. Su equivalente en el idioma español es el Futuro Imperfecto. Por ejemplo:

I will study the lesson. Yo estudiaré la lección.
(No se menciona en que tiempo)

They will buy a new car. Ellos comprarán un nuevo auto.
(No se sabe en que momento)

Aunque también se puede expresar el tiempo en el que se desarrollará la acción, por ejemplo:

Susan will visit her mother tomorrow.
Susan visitará a su madre mañana.

John will travel to New York the next month.
John viajará a Nueva York el próximo mes.

Este tiempo verbal utiliza para su construcción el auxiliar WILL seguido del verbo principal en infinitivo.

-          Estructura de "will" 

También se puede usar en la afirmación la contracción de WILL colocando 'll al pronombre y en la negación en lugar de WILL NOT se puede utilizar la forma contraída WON'T:

I will play tennis. I'll play tennis.
We will paint the house. We'll paint the house.

She will not buy a house. She won't buy a house.
They will not go to the party. They won't go to the party.
