1. Future simple
El futuro simple se usa para hablar de acciones que
transcurrirn en el futuro. Normalmente se usa el futuro simple
para hacer predicciones o hablar de decisiones no planeadas. El
futuro simple se forma con Will o Shall y el infinitivo del verbo:
En primera persona (I, We) se puede usar Shall o Will, aunque
en ingls moderno se usa ms Will y se reserva Shall para hacer
sugerencias.
Eg.: Shall we take a taxi? Tomamos un taxi?
En cualquier caso, la forma contrada siempre es ll.
La forma negativa se construye aadiendo la partcula negativa
not al auxiliar will; pero la forma ms comn es la abreviatura
wont:
