What you'll learn
By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to make predictions, volunteer offers, and announce spontaneous decisions using will.
When do I use it?
Use will for things that happen in the future when you decide to do something at the moment of speaking, or when you are guessing about the future: "I will help you" (offer), "It will rain tomorrow" (prediction). You also use it with promises and requests. For plans you already decided before, English prefers "be going to".
How do I form it?
Subject + will + base verb
- I will call you later.
- She will love this gift.
- Will you open the window? (question)
- They will not come. → They won't come. (negative)
The verb after will never changes, and will never changes either. There is no "will to" and no "wills".
Common mistakes for Spanish speakers
Spanish speakers often add "to" after will or change the verb: "will to go" and "will goes" are both wrong — after will, always use the base form: "will go". "Will" also never changes for people: "he will", not "he wills". Remember "will" is a modal verb, so it always works like "poder" does: the following verb stays in its base form.
After will, the verb never changes and never takes "to". Say "will go", "will eat", "will study".
