単純未来時制

単純未来時制の機能

単純未来は今よりも後を示し、事実や確信を表します。この場合、’態度’というものはありません。

単純未来形は以下の場合に使います：

未来の出来事の予測：
It will rain tomorrow.
I やWeと共に、自発的な決心：
I'll pay for the tickets by credit card.
意欲の表現：
I'll do the washing-up.
He'll carry your bag for you.
否定的な形で、意欲のなさを表現：
The baby won't eat his soup.
I won't leave until I've seen the manager!
"shall"を使った疑問文で、申し出を表現：
Shall I open the window?
"shall"を使った疑問文でweと共に、提案を表現：
Shall we go to the cinema tonight?
"shall"を使った疑問文でIと共に、忠告や指示を請う：
What shall I tell the boss about this money?
Youと一緒に使って命令を与える：
You will do exactly as I say.
疑問文でyou と一緒に使って、誘引する：
Will you come to the dance with me?
Will you marry me?

備考：現代英語では、 willは shallより好まれます。 Shall は主に I や we と共に使われ、申し出や提案をしたり、忠告を請います (上記参照)。他の人 (you, he, she, they) と一緒にshall が使われるのは、文学や詩の場合のみです。例"With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes."

単純未来形の作り方

単純未来時制は二つの部分から成ります：will / shall + toのない不定詞

主語	will	toのない不定詞
肯定文
I	will	go
I	shall	go
否定文
They	will not	see
They	won't	see
疑問文
Will	she	ask?
否定疑問文
Won't	they	try?

縮約

I will = I'll
We will = we'll
You will = you'll
He will = he'll
She will = she'll
They will = they'll
Will not = won't

"it will" は通常短くされません。
