Grammar

Future ‘will’ (affirmative)

We use the simple future to talk about predictions, promises, offers, and spontaneous decisions.

We form the simple future with will + the infinitive form of the verb. For example:
It will rain tomorrow. (Prediction)
I will be with you the whole day. (Promises)
I will help you with that. (Offer)
I will call you right back. (Spontaneous decision).

The structure in the affirmative form is:
Subject + will + verb + object.

We can also use the contracted form ‘ll. For example:
She‘ll be home by 10 o’clock.
They‘ll give us a hand for the move.
