En general podemos decir que hay dos formas de expresar el futuro en inglés:
- Con "WILL" (partícula que va detrás del sujeto y delante de la forma base del verbo), ej.: She will come tomorrow.
- Con BE (am / is / are) GOING TO ( que también va detras de sujeto y delante de la forma base del verbo):
ej.: She is going to come tomorrow.
Para negar se añade simplemente not ( will not = won't): ej.: It will not (won't) rain tomorrow. Y para preguntar, simplemente se antepone will al sujeto, ej.: Will it rain tomorrow?
Se utiliza BE (am / is /are) GOING TO para acciones que ya están planeadas: Next weekend I am going to celebrate my birthday.
Para negar simplemente se añade NOT detrás del verbo to be, ej.: My cousin is not going to come to the party. Y para preguntar, basta con anteponer el verbo to be al sujeto, ej.: Is your cousin going to come to the party?
