Simple Future Tense



Simple future tense dapat dinyatakan dengan menggunakan 3 pola berikut:
Subject + will + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + [(is/am/are/) going to] + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + (is/am/are/) + (verb1+ing )+ object + modifier
Note:
  • Dalam American English, auxiliary shall (i.e. sepupunya will) sudah sangat jarang digunakan. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini tidak membahas penggunaan shall.
  • Pola yang ketiga ini sama dengan Present Continous Tense. Penggunaannya khusus untuk menyatakan aktivitas yang direncanakan  akan dilakukan. (Lihat penggunaan simple future tense yang kedua).
Contoh:
  1. Farmers in Jati Bali will grow rice crops next month. (Petani-petani di Jati Bali akan bercocok tanam padi bulan depan).
  2. Some students are going to conduct research on vegetative plant propagations next semester. (Beberapa siswa akan melakukan penelitian pada perbanyakan tanaman vegetatif semester depan).
  3. Transpiration will start to increase tomorrow morning. (Transpirasi akan mulai meningkat besok pagi).
Penggunaan Simple Future Tense
Simple Future Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang akan terjadi/dilakukan di waktu yang akan datang, apakah 10 menit atau 1 jam yang akan datang, besok, lusa, minggu depan, bulan depan, tahun depan, dan seterusnya. Jika past tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas setelah now (past time), simple future tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas sebelum now (future time).
Berikut adalah 5 kategori penggunaan Simple Future Tense, yaitu:
1. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang diprediksi akan terjadi/dilakukan.
Contoh:
  1. According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalan cuaca, besok akan hujan).
  2. None of us have done the homework the teacher told us to do. He will be very disappointed when he finds out.
  3. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o’clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny’s girlfriend, will come too.
  4. I will probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch
  5. The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe catastrophes sooner or later in the future.
Kelima contoh kalimat di atas juga dapat dinyatakan dengan pola yang kedua menjadi:
  1. According to the weather forecast, it is going to rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalan cuaca, besok akan hujan).
  2. None of us did the homework the teacher had told us to do. He is going to be very disappointed when he finds out.
  3. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o’clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny’s girlfriend, is going to come too.
  4. I am probably going to see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.
  5. The damage we do to our forest today is going to result in severe catastrophes sooner or later in the future.
2. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang direncanakan akan terjadi/dilakukan.
Jika aktivitas yang akan dilakukan telah direncanakan/diniatkan sebelumnya, gunakan pola yang kedua atau ketiga.

  2. He has an appointment. He is going to meet his business partner at noon.
  3. I am going to go to the shopping mall. Do you want to go with me?

  2. He has an appointment. He is meeting his business partner at noon.
  3. I am going to the shopping mall Do you want to go with me?
  4. The next world cup championship is being held in South Africa in 2010.

  4. Will you pick up the phone, please! (Tolong angkat telponnya).
  5. Will you go out with me tonight, please! (Pergilah kencan dengan saya malam ini).
Note: Simple Present Tense juga dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan future time, khusus untuk kejadian/aktivitas yang sudah terjadwal. Hanya ada beberapa verbs yang bisa digunakan di sini, antara lain:
open
close
begin
end
start
finish
arrive
leave
come
return
Contoh:

Modifier of time untuk Simple Future Tense
Modifier of time (keterangan waktu) yang umum digunakan pada Simple Future Tense dapat berupa:
  1. singgle word : tomorrow (besok), soon (segera), tonight (sebentar malam). Note: Tonight bermakna future time jika pada saat mengekspresikan suatu kejadian/aktivitas belum malam (i.e. baru jam 5 sore, 2 sore, atau masih 10 pagi ect). Tetapi jika misalnya pada jam 8 malam anda sedang berduaan dengan pacar, tonight berarti malam ini (i.e. bermakna now). I am with my boy-/girlfriend tonight. I am so happy. Tonight is one of my greatest nights in my whole life.
  2. phrase : next week (minggu depan), next month (bulan depan), next year (tahun depan), etc.
  3. clause : when she arrives, if the rain falls tomorrow, etc. Remember: clause (i.e. adverbial clause) untuk simple future tense selalu dalam present tense. Jangan dinyatakan dalam future tense. INCORRECT jika when she will arrive; if the rain will fall tomorrow.

Subject + will + not + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + [(is/am/are/) + not + going to] + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + (is/am/are/) + not + (verb1+ing )+ object + modifier
