How do we make the Simple Future Tense?

The structure of the simple future tense is:
Affirmative
I will help you carry the bags.

Negative
They will not buy that house.

Interrogative
Will she sing at the party?

Use will to express a voluntary action.

Use will to express a promise.

Examples:
I will translate the e-mail, so Mr. Smith can read
it.
Will you help me move this heavy table?
I will not do your homework for you.
I won't do all the housework myself!

Examples:
I will call you when I arrive.
I promise I will not tell him about the surprise
party.
Don't worry, I'll be careful.
I won't tell anyone your secret.

When we use the simple future tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:
I will

I'll

you will

you'll

he will
she will
it will

he'll
she'll
it'll

we will

we'll

they will

they'll
