Introduction

On utilise le futur simple pour parler du futur dans les cas suivants:

• des prédictions
• des décisions spontanées
• des offres
• des promesses.

Exemples

• "We’re having a picnic tomorrow. It will rain."
• "Will you go to the party?" "Hmm ... yes, I will go to the party."
• "You look tired. I will make you a cup of tea."
• "I will finish the work tomorrow."

---

Les phrases qui utilisent le futur simple pour une prédiction commencent souvent par "think", par exemple:

I You We They	think don't think
He She It	thinks doesn't think

Exemples

• I think she will win the match.
• She doesn't think they will arrive on time.

---

Avec "I" et "we", on peut utiliser "shall" à la place de "will" - c'est une forme plus soutenue:

• I shall go to the party.
• We shall visit him later.

Dans les questions, c'est l'équivalent de faire une suggestion:

• Shall we go to the cinema?
• Shall I open the window?

---

N.B. N'utilisez pas "will" pour parler de plans ou de préparatifs que vous avez déjà organisés. Dans ce cas, il faut utiliser "going to", ou le présent continu pour indiquer le futur.

• I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow.
• She's going to visit her aunt at the weekend.

Forme - futur simple affirmatif

On utilise "will" + l'infinitif du verbe principal (sans "to").

Exemples

I You He She It We They	will	win	the match.
		make	dinner.
		return	the money.
