Future Tenses
Plans, promises, predictions, and what will be finished by a time in the future.
Most of the time you need only will and going to. The other three are for being exact about a moment or a deadline in the future.
- Simple future: I'll eat. Will, shall and going to.
- Future continuous: I'll be eating. What will be going on at a moment in the future.
- Future perfect: I'll have eaten. Finished before a time in the future.
- Future perfect continuous: I'll have been eating. How long, by a time in the future.
