INTRODUCTION:
In grammar, a future tense (abbreviated fut)
is a verb form that generally marks the event
described by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the
future. An example of a future tense form is the French aimera,
meaning "will love", derived from the verb aimer ("love"). English does not have a future tense formed by
verb inflection in this way, although it has a number of ways to express
the future, particularly the construction with the auxiliary verb will orshall or is/am/are going to and
grammarians differ in whether they describe such constructions as representing
a future tense in English.
The "future"
expressed by the future tense usually means the future relative to the moment
of speaking, although in contexts where relative
tense is used it may
mean the future relative to some other point in time under consideration.
Future tense can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation fut.
FUTURE TENSE: ‘The use of the future tense indicates that
blessedness includes future benefits that overcome the misfortunes of the
present.
‘Although
the bulk of the verbs in the chapter are not cast in the future tense, the
entire outlook of the subject is future-oriented.’
‘The
diamond heist that is the nucleus of Reservoir Dogs is absent from the actual
movie, existing only in reference, as a reflection in either past or future
tense.’
