00:00Hi kids! Today, we will learn about future tense. So, let's start.
00:11Whenever we are writing or speaking, there is always a reference to time.
00:18Every sentence is either in past tense, future tense, or present tense.
00:26We have already learned about past tense and present tense.
00:31Today, we are going to learn about future tense.
00:36We use future tense to talk or write about things, events, and actions that are yet to happen in coming time.
00:47Let's learn with examples.
00:49I will enjoy my favorite ice cream in the evening.
00:53According to this sentence, the girl will eat the ice cream in coming time.
01:00She has not eaten the ice cream. She is neither eating it at present.
01:06She is planning to eat it in the future.
01:09And the verb, will, shows that the sentence is in future tense.
01:15We use the helping verb, will, to show present tense in a sentence.
01:21I will go to my friend's birthday party tomorrow.
01:26Here again, we have the helping verb, will, and it is used to show present tense.
01:34And the sentence states that the boy will go to his friend's birthday party in the future.
01:42So, the sentence is in future tense.
01:47He will come to my house tomorrow.
01:52Here, the sentence states that the boy's friend will come to his house in the future.
02:00So, the helping verb, will, is there, which is only used in sentences with future tense.
02:10Rita will buy a new doll on her birthday.
02:14Here, the sentence is telling about an activity that will happen in future.
02:21That is why we have used the helping verb, will, as it shows future tense.
02:29Kids, remember that it is the tense that determines the tense of a sentence.
02:37We have learned that for past tense, we use helping verbs like, was, were, did, done, and the second and third forms of verbs.
02:51For future tense, we use helping verbs like, will, would, shall, etc., and also the first forms of verbs.
03:03And we use future tense to talk about things that are yet to happen in the future.
03:10Let's see some more examples.
03:14I will buy some dresses tomorrow.
03:18Here, again, we have used the helping verb, will, to show future tense, and the main verb is, buy.
03:28It is the first form of the verb.
03:32And the helping verb, will, along with the first form of the main verb, indicate that the sentence is in future tense.
03:43I will go to my dance class tomorrow.
03:48So we have used the helping verb, will, and first form of the verb, which indicates that the sentence is in future tense.
03:59They will not come here again.
04:04Here, again, we have used the helping verb, will, and the first form of the verb, that is, come.
04:14They all will go to watch the match with us.
04:18Here, again, we have used the helping verb, will, and the first form of the verb, which shows that the sentence is in future tense.
04:30Now let's learn the rules for forming future tense.
04:35We always use the first form of the verb with helping verbs like, will, shall, or would.
04:45We'll walk, we'll run, we'll speak, we'll sing, we'll sit, we'll play.
04:56These phrases indicate future tense.
05:01We can also write sentences with future tense by using the verb, going to.
05:08I am going to play with my dog.
05:12I am going to swim with my dad.
05:15I am going to play in the park.
05:19I am going to wash my clothes.
05:22I am going to complete my homework.
