INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKROUND

Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the

"rules" of a language; but in fact no language has rules. If we use the word "rules", we
suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game.
But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which
evolved into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All
languages change over time. What we call "grammar" is simply a reflection of a language at a
particular time.

To understand the type of word, we must understand well about the distribution of
words in English. We will get it if we study Parts of Speech material which consists of 8
types of words; Nouns, Verbs, Pronouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions,
and Interjection. When we already know both the functions, positions, combinations,
arrangements and changes of the 8 Parts of Speech, we will begin to learn to compose words.

The future is uncertain. We know the past. We know the present. We do not know
the future. We can be 100% sure or certain about the past and the present. But we can never
be 100% certain about the future. In English there are several structures and tenses to talk
about the future. It is usually the degree of certainty about the future of our choice of
structure or tense.

1.2 PROBLEM FORMULATION
In this paper we summarize some of which we discuss, namely:
1.Identify the types of tenses?
2.What is the Past Future Tense, Past Future Continuous Tense, Past Future Perfect
Tense and Past Future Perfect Continuous tense?

1.3 DESTINATION

From the identification of the problems mentioned above, the authors certainly
aimed to clarify or explain these points, according to the knowledge we have obtained,
either from books or from the source of our teachers. Hopefully all provide benefits for
us. If there is an error writing or words in this paper, the authors apologize profusely.

DISCUSSION

2.1 SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE

The simple future tense is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t
happened yet.

The formula for simple future tense is “will/shall + [root form of verb]”

It doesn’t matter if the subject is singular or plural; the formula for the simple future
doesn’t change. But, there is another way to show that something will happen in the future. It
follows the formula [am/is/are] + going to + [root form verb].

Will / shall be used for all subjects "I, You, They, We, She, He, and It"

 Example of using simple future tense below :

Hongkong is my first place abroad that I will travel to. I am so excited about it. This
month we will arrange our trip itineary. So, after school I’ll browse some places to visit.
I’ll also watch some Hongkong travel videos.

 Adverbial Of Time For Simple Future Tense

Adverbs with the future nonprogressive express a specific or indefinite future
time, or a relative future event. (I will call you If I don't see you.) The future is formed
with the modal will + plain verb form, or with the present tense and a future adverb.
We are going to take a four-week vacation soon.

ability or intention. The function and use of the simple future tense can be used for

Future continuous tense or future progressive tense is a form of verb used to express
an action that will be taking place at a certain time in the future. The action had started but
was not finished at that time.

The future continuous tense is formed with the auxiliary verb [will + be + the
present participle verb-1+ing].
Will / shall be used for all subjects "I, You, They, We, She, He, and It"
