Using Will and Shall for Future Tense
Future Tense: Will and Shall
English Grammar Notes
We normally use will and shall to talk about the future. They are always combined with another verb.
Since will and shall are classified as modal verbs (like can, would, could, and should), they have the same characteristics:
- They do not change in the third person (i.e., he, she, it).
- They are always combined with another verb in the base form (i.e., without ‘to’).
- We don’t use them with ‘do’ in questions or negatives.
