 Future tense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rather, the future tense is marked by the use of a number of auxiliary verbs.

In linguistics, a future tense is a verb form that marks the event described by a verb as not having happened yet, but expected to in the future.

 Future - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In grammar, the future is a tense or a mood used to refer to events that have yet to happen.
When the English future tense is mentioned, usually it refers to present-tense (or rather, "non-past"-tense) constructions using the modal verb will or shall used to discuss the future: In the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes.
In this sense the future is opposed to the past (the set of moments and events that have already occurred) and the present (the set of events that are occurring now).
