Kita menggunakan simple future tense:
Pertama, untuk mengungkapkan peristiwa atau kejadian yang akan terjadi di masa depan.
Contoh kalimat:
- They will go to Medan.
- She will be at coffee shop.
- We will finish our homework.
Kedua, untuk mengungkapkan janji (promise), permohonan (request), penolakan (refusal) dan penawaran (offer).
Contoh kalimat:
- I’ll pick you up this evening. (promise)
- I’ll bake a cake if you want. (offer)

Keempat, untuk mengungkapkan rencana (plan). Contoh kalimat:

Untuk rencana, biasanya kita menggunakan “will” dan “be going to”. Namun, ada perbedaan di antara keduanya. Mari kita lihat:
Will | Be going to |

Menyiratkan niat yang tidak direncanakan. Ada niat tetapi belum tentu dilakukan. Contoh: Someone is knocking on the door. I will open the door. (Ketika ada seseorang yang mengetuk pintu, langsung mengatakan saya akan membuka pintu.) | Niat yang direncanakan terlebih dahulu. Ada niat dan rencana. Contoh: We’ve bought the tickets. Tonight, we are going to watch a film. (Kita telah merencanakan untuk menonton film dan telah membeli tiket.) |
