The simple future tense is used to make simple predictions about the future. We do not usually use this tense to talk about pre-planned future events.
The simple future tense is made with will/shall + first form of the verb.
Study the following examples.
I will come.
She will go.
In British English, shall can be used instead of will with first person pronouns (I and we). In American English, shall is not normally used.
I will not do it. (US)
I shall not do it. OR I will not do it. (GB)
