Voices of assertive sentences in future tense

FUTURE TENSE

It should be  noted that while changing the voices in Future tense, the auxiliary verbs,  ‘will’ and ‘shall’, are used in accordance with the sense of  ‘normal future’ or  ‘serious future’  (showing a determination, a truth, strong offer, pledge, surety, etc…)  as we studied in   simple future tense  in the topic  Tenses and their salient roles.

So, let’s study  the voices of assertive sentence in future tense.

1  Simple future tense

The pattern of Active Voice

S + will/shall + V + O

eg: They shall give me the chance to try once more.

Here,  ‘shall’ is used with the ‘third person’ subject  ‘They’  to show the  sense of  ‘surety’.

The pattern of Passive Voice
