Simple Future Tense

a.   It indicated the speaker’s opinion, assumptions, and speculations about the future. The future simple can be used with or without time expression.

Example

He will build a house.
This is a mere opinion and gives no idea when the construction will start. It may be recalled that in Present Progress Tense we have already discussed that for planned future we say:
                        He is building a house.
                                        OR
                        He is going to build a house.
In these two sentences it is shown that he has already made the decision and that he will probably start the work quite soon but in the first sentence having ‘will’ it is just an opinion and no decision.
b.   The future simple is used for future habitual actions, which we assume will take place.

Example

Spring will come again.
Birds will build nests.

c.   It is also used to express intention at the moment of decision.

Example

        Shahid (having no conveyance): I don’t know how to go home.
        Kamal (having a car): don’t worry I will drop you.
We have noticed that Kamal has said these words at the same time when Shahid showed his worry.
d.   It is used for weather forecasts.

Example

The fog will persist in all the areas.
