Future tense is a grammatical tense that refers to actions or events that will happen in the future. It is used to talk about things that have not yet occurred but are expected to happen at some point in the future. In English, the future tense is typically formed by using the auxiliary verb "will" or "shall" followed by the base form of the main verb. For example, "I will go to the store tomorrow."
