Contoh Kalimat Bentuk Future Tense

 

Berikut kami sajikan contoh penggunaan kalimat bentuk Future Tense. Sebagian bahan kami sarikan dari buku Practical English Grammar (AJ Thompson & AV Martinet).Semoga bisa menambah pemahaman dalam menguasai pelajaran bahasa Inggris.  

 Future Tense

Kegunaan:

1. Bentuknya simple present tapi untuk menyatakan future

The boys start school on Monday. meski lebih umum dipakai: The boys are starting school        

I leave tonight

·       Im leaving tonight : keputusan bulat, sedang I leave tonight: salahsatu rencana tapi tidak berarti dibuat oleh si subjek

·       “Simple present” terkesan lebih formal ketimbang “Simple Continuous”. A big store planning to open a new branch is more likely to say Our new branch opens next week than Our new branch is opening next week

·       “Simple persent” kadang digunakan kala “present continuous” terkesan tidak efisien, khususnya saat membicarakan rangkaian agenda aktivitas, seperti rencana perjalanan: We leave at six, arrive in Dublin at ten and take the plan on... kalimat ini lebih ringkas ketimbang:  We are leaving at six, arriving in Dublin at ten and taking  the plane on...

Untuk jadwal rutin bersubjek moda transportasi, harus menggunakan simple past: My train leaves at six, the Boat sails in the morning
