Глава 6

6.1 Будущее время

В этой главе будущее время употребляется в вопросе и утвердительном предложении:

Вопрос: ...Will you be having lunch?

Утверждение: ...I'll just have a salad, ... .

Будущее время формируется очень легко. Просто добавьте "will" (или "shall" после "I" или "we") в качестве вспомогательного глагола перед инфинитивом смыслового:

He gets you something to drink. - He'll (he will) get you something...

We have a salad. - We'll (we will) have a salad.

Обратите внимание, что в американском английском чаще используется "will", чем "shall".
