Today we are talking about the simple future verb tense, also called the future simple.

今天我們說的是簡單的未來動詞時態，也叫未來簡單式。

We use the simple future to talk about things that have not happened yet.

我們用未來簡單式來談論還沒有發生的事情。

This verb tense has two different forms in English.

這個動詞時態在英語中有兩種不同的形式。

"Will" and "going to" we sometimes call them "will-future" and "going to-future."

Will 和 going to 我們有時也叫他們 will-未來式和 going to-未來式。

We use the will future to express a voluntary action or offer, like this.

我們用 will-未來式來表達主動的行為或提議，像這樣。

Are you hungry?

你餓了嗎？

I will make dinner.

我去做晚飯

We also use the will-future to express a promise, like this.

我們也用will-未來式來表達承諾，像這樣。

I will call you when I get home.

我回家後會打電話給你。

We can use going to-future to express a plan, like this.

我們可以用going to-未來式來表達計劃，像這樣。

Addy is going to start singing lessons next month.

艾迪下個月就要開始上唱歌課了。

Both the will-future and going to-future can be used for making predictions.

Will-未來式和 going to-未來式兩者都可以用來進行預測。

Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future.

預測是對未來可能發生的事情的猜測。

現在我們來談談如何用未來簡單動詞時態來問問題。

Listen to this question.

聽聽這個問題。

Will you be there by 7pm?

你晚上七點前會到那裡嗎？

Notice how the position of the subject you and auxiliary verb will has been switched.

注意主詞you和助動詞will的位置是如何調換的。

And finally, we form the negative by using the word not, like this.

最後，我們用 not 讓句子形成否定句，像這樣。

No, I will not be there by 7pm.

不，我不會在晚上7點前到那裡。
