Simple Future Tense

Subject + will + verb1+ object + modifierSubject + [(is/am/are/) going to] + verb1+ object + modifier

Subject + (is/am/are/) + (verb1+ing)+ object + modifierNote:

• In American English, auxiliary shall (i.e. sepupunya will) sudah sangat jarang digunakan.Oleh

karena itu, tulisan ini tidak membahas penggunaan shall.

• Pola yang ketiga ini sama dengan Present continuous tense. Penggunaannya khusus untuk

menyatakan aktivitas yang direncanakan akan dilakukan. (Lihat penggunaan simple future

tense yang kedua).

Contoh:

1. Farmers in Jati Bali will grow rice crops next month. (Petani-petani di Jati Bali akan bercocok

tanam padi bulan depan).

2. Some students are going to conduct research on vegetative plant propagations next semester.

(Beberapa siswa akan melakukan penelitian pada perbanyakan tanaman vegetatif semester

depan).

3. Transpiration will start to increase tomorrow morning. (Transpirasi akan mulai meningkat

besok pagi).

Penggunaan Simple Future TenseSimple Future Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang akan

terjadi/dilakukan di waktu yang akan datang, apakah 10 menit atau 1 jam yang akan datang,

besok, lusa, minggu depan, bulan depan, tahun depan, dan seterusnya. Jika past tense menyatakan

kejadian/aktivitas setelah now (past time), simple future tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas

sebelum now (future time).

Berikut adalah 5 kategori penggunaan Simple Future Tense, yaitu:

1. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang diprediksi akan terjadi/dilakukan.

Contoh:

1. According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalan cuaca, besok akan

hujan).

2. None of us have done the homework the teacher told us to do. He will be very disappointed

when he finds out.

3. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o’clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny’s

girlfriend,will come too.

4. I will probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch

5. The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe catastrophes sooner or later in the

future.

Kelima contoh kalimat di atas juga dapat dinyatakan dengan pola yang kedua menjadi:

1. According to the weather forecast, it is going to rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalan cuaca,

besok akan hujan).

2. None of us did the homework the teacher had told us to do. He is going to be very

disappointed when he finds out.

3. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o’clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny’s girlfriend,is

4. I am probably going to see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.

5. The damage we do to our forest today is going to result in severe catastrophes sooner or later

in the future.

2. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang direncanakan akan terjadi/dilakukan.

kedua atau ketiga.

2. He has an appointment. He is going to meet his business partner at noon.

3. I am going to go to the shopping mall. Do you want to go with me?

3. I am going to the shopping mall Do you want to go with me?

4. The next world cup championship is being held in South Africa in 2010.

4. Untuk membuat main clause pengandaian yang bersifat hipotesa (hypothetical conditional);

(sub-clause) dari kalimat pengandaian tersebut.

Contoh:

1. If she comes tonight, I will not go out. (Jika dia datang malam ini, saya tidak akan keluar

rumah). Sebaliknya, jika dia tidak datang, saya akan keluar rumah.

selama saya pergi!).

Note: Simple present tense juga dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan future time, khusus untuk

kejadian/aktivitas yang sudah terjadwal. Hanya ada beberapa verbs yang bisa digunakan di sini,

antara lain:

openclose

beginend

startfinish

arriveleave

comereturn

Contoh:

1. I have to transfer money now but it’s already 2 o’clock. Don’t worry. You still have time. The

4. The first flight leaves at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

5. The ceremony starts at 11. It’s about in half an hour. (Upacaranya mulai jam 11. Kurang lebih

setengah jam lagi).

Modifier of time untuk Simple Future TenseModifier of time (keterangan waktu)yang umum digunakan pada Simple Future Tense dapat berupa:

1. singgle word : tomorrow (besok), soon (segera), tonight (sebentar malam). Note:Tonight

bermakna future time jika pada saat mengekspresikan suatu kejadian/aktivitas belum malam

(i.e. baru jam 5 sore, 2 sore, atau masih 10 pagi ect). Tetapi jika misalnya pada jam 8 malam

anda sedang berduaan dengan pacar, tonight berarti malam ini (i.e. bermakna now). I am with

my boy-/girlfriend tonight. I am so happy. Tonight is one of my greatest nights in my whole

life.

2. phrase : next week (minggu depan), next month (bulan depan), next year (tahun depan), etc.

3. clause : when she arrives, if the rain falls tomorrow, etc. Remember: clause (i.e. adverbial

clause) untuk simple future tense selalu dalam present tense. Jangan dinyatakan dalam future

tense. INCORRECT jika when she will arrive; if the rain willfall tomorrow.

Penggunaan Future Continuous TensePenggunaan future continuous tense pada prinsipnya sama dengan past continuous tense. Yang

membedakan adalah jika past continuous tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang sedang

berlangsung in the past, future continuous tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang sedang

berlangsung in the future. Pembicara tahu bahwa suatu kejadian/aktivitas akan sedang

berlangsung karena kejadian/aktivitas tersebut telah direncanakan (bukan karena prediksi) atau

karena merupakan regular happening/habitual action.

Untuk lebih memahami perbedaan antara kedua tensis ini, tulisan ini dibuat dengan menggunakan

konsep dan contoh-contoh pada past continuous tense. Dan tentu saja, keterangan waktunya telah

digeser dari past time menjadi future time.

Future Continuous Tense digunakan1. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang akan sedang terjadi pada waktu yang spesifik di

masa depan. Spesifikasi waktu biasanya dinyatakan dengan jam (i.e. jam berapa kejadian itu

berlangsung). Sebagai ilustrasi, perhatikan contoh kalimat 1 di bawah. Sebagai seorang ibu, saya tahu

rutinitas putri saya. Jam 3 -5 belajar atau ngerjakan PR, jam 8-9 nonton TV, 9-11 bejalar lagi. Karena

sudah tahu persis rutinitas putri saya tersebut, saya berani bilang bahwa pada jam 8.30 nanti, dia

sedang nonton TV. Logika yang sama juga berlaku pada contoh kalimat 2 – 8.

Contoh:

1. My daughter will be watching TV at eight thirty tonight. (Putri saya akan sedang nonton TV

jam 8.30 malam ini).

2. She will be copying the materials at 10 o’clock this morning. (Dia akan sedang memfotokopi

materi jam 10 pagi ini). Asumsi, sekarang belum jam 10 pagi.

3. I will be discussing English with my classmates at 2 p.m. next Friday. (Saya akan sedang

mendiskusikan bahasa Inggris dengan teman-teman kelas saya jam 2 sore Jumat depan).

4. I will be being busy at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. (Saya akan sedang sibuk jam 8 pagi

besok).

5. They will be being very happy at 9 o’clock next Saturday night. (Mereka akan sedang sangat

bahagia jam 9 malam minggu depan). Asumsi, mereka baru jadian (pacaran).

6. This time next year, she will be studying Economics at the University of Toronto.(Bulan ini

tahun depan, dia akan sedang belajar/kuliah Ekonomi di Universitas Toronto).

7. They will be taking an English exam at 10 a.m. tomorrow. (Mereka akan sedang mengikuti

ujian bahasa Inggris jam 10 besok pagi).

8. We will be watching a football game at 11 p.m. tonight. (Kami akan sedang nonton

pertandingan sepak bola jam 11 malam ini).

2. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang sedang terjadi/berlangsung di masa depan, yang

terinterupsi oleh kejadian yang lain. Dalam hal ini, formulanya adalah sebagai berikut:

When + subject1 + simple present tense, subject2 + future continuous

Subject1 + future continuous + when + subject2 + simple present tense

Note: Kejadian/aktivitas yang menginterupsi dinyatakan dalam simple present tense dan

berfungsi sebagai keterangan waktu; Sisipkan tanda koma, jika letaknya mendahului future

continuous. Koma tidak diperlukan jika ditempatkan setelah future continuous.

Contoh:

1. When I arrive home, my daughter will be watching TV. (Ketika saya tiba di rumah, putri

saya akan sedang nonton TV). My daughter punya habit nonton TV.

2. When I call him tonight, he will be playing card with his friends. (Ketika saya telpon dia

malam ini, dia sedang main kartu dengan teman-temannya). He punya habit main kartu sama

teman-temannya tiap malam.

3. I will be waiting for you outside the class when you finish your exam. (Saya akan sedang

menunggu di luar kelas ketika kamu selesai ujian).

4. He will still be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see his mother when she

arrives home. (Dia akan masih sedang belajar di perpustakaan malam ini, jadi dia tidak akan

melihat ibunya ketika ibunya tiba di rumah).

5. When I go to her house on Saturday night, she will be being with her boyfriend. (Jika saya

pergi ke rumahnya malam minggu ini, dia akan sedang bersama dengan pacarnya).

REMEMBER: Hindari menggunakan keterangan waktu “When + future tense“.

3. Juga digunakan untuk menyatakan dua kejadian yang terjadi pada saat bersamaan di masa depan.

Dalam hal ini, gunakan formula berikut:

While + subject1 + present continuous, subject2 + future continuous

Subject1 + future continuous + while + subject2 + present continuous

Contoh:

1. While I am typing another note tonight, my family will be watching TV in the family

room. (Sementara saya sedang mengetik catatan yang lain malam ini, keluarga saya akan

sedang nonton TV di ruang keluarga).

2. While the president is giving his speech, the audience will be listening to him

carefully. (Sementara presiden sedang berpidato, pemirsa/hadirin akan sedang

mendengarkannya dengan seksama).

3. Male students will be playing around while the female ones are chitchatting.(Murid laki-

laki akan sedang bermain-main sementara murid-murid wanita sedang ngobrol). Kapan

mereka belajar ya?

4. My roommate will be snoring loudly while I am studying. (Teman sekamar saya sedang

mendengkur keras sementara saya sedang belajar).

5. We will be smoking while others are drinking. (Kami akan sedang merokok sementara

yang lain akan sedang minum).

6. John will be washing dishes while Jane is making dinner. (John akan sedang mencuci

piring sementara Jane sedang masak untuk makan malam).

REMEMBER: Hindari menggunakan keterangan waktu “While + future continous tense“. Tetapi,

kalau keterangan waktunya tidak menggunakan “while“, barulah tiap clause dari kejadian yang sedang

berlangsung secara bersamaan ini dinyatakan dengan future continuous tense.

1. Sorry, we can’t practice our band in my house tonight. My dad will be having his colleagues

over and my brother will be studying for his final exam. (Maaf, kita tidak bisa latihan band di

rumah saya malam ini. Bapak saya akan sedang menjamu kolega-koleganya di rumah dan

kakak saya akan sedang belajar untuk ujian akhirnya.

2. The party will start at 8 pm. I’ll get there around 9. When I get there, Budi and his band will

be performing. Some people will be dancing, some will be drinking and smoking, and

the others will be just talking. (Pestanya akan dimulai jam 8 malam. Saya akan tiba di sana

sekitar jam 9. Ketika saya tiba di sana, Budi dan bandnya akan sedang perform. Bebeerapa

orang akan sedang berdansa, beberapa akan sedang minum dan merokok, dan yang lainnya

akan sedang ngobrol saja).

4. Untuk menyatakan suatu hal atau kejadian yang diyakini/benar-benar akan segera terjadi.

Contoh:

1. I think the sun will be shining soon. (Saya kira matahari akan segera sedang bersinar).

2. Oh no! The clouds are very dark and thick. It will be raining soon. (Oh tidak! Awan sangat

gelap dan tebal. Akan segera sedang turun hujan).

Negative FormBentuk negatif dari kalimat dalam Future Continuous Tense dibuat dengan menambahkan ‘not’ setelah

auxilliary will, atau setelah is/am/are, seperti yang terlihat dalam formula berikut:

Subject + will + not + be + (verb1+ing) + object + modifierSubject + [(is/am/are/) + not + going to] + be +(verb1+ing) + object + modifier

Note: Will not dapat dikontraksi menjadi won’t.

Contoh:

nonton TV jam 8.30 malam ini).

2. She will not be copying the materials at 10 o’clock this morning. (Dia tidak akan sedang

memfotokopi materi jam 10 pagi ini).

pagi besok).

5. They will not be being very happy at 9 o’clock next Saturday night. (Mereka tidak akan

sedang sangat bahagia jam 9 malam minggu depan). Mereka baru saja bubaran.

6. This time next year, she won’t be studying Economics at the University of Toronto.(Bulan ini

7. They won’t be taking an English exam at 10 a.m. tomorrow. (Mereka tidak akan sedang

mengikuti ujian bahasa Inggris jam 10 besok pagi).

8. We won’t be watching a football game at 11 p.m. tonight. (Kami tidak akan sedang nonton

Penggunaan Future Perfect TensePerhatikan pola dan ketiga contoh di atas! Apakah beda antara future perfect tense dengan present

perfect tense? Perbedaannya tidak banyak, bukan? Konsep penggunaannya hampir sama

dengan present perfect tense. Cuma, batas akhir dari kejadian/aktivitas untuk tensis ini adalah future

time, sedangkan batas akhir untuk present perfect tense adalah now.

Penggunaan future perfect tense, antara lain:1. Untuk menyatakan prediksi bahwa kejadian/aktivitas akan sudah terjadi/sudah selesai dilakukan

sebelum atau hingga batas waktu tertentu di masa mendatang.

Note: Jika menggunakan time clause, nyatakan dalam simple present tense. Misalnya: when the

first half is over (pada contoh 2), by the time we get to the airport (pada contoh 3), etc.

Past Future Tense

Subject + would + verb1+ object + modifierSubject + [(was/were) going to] + verb1+ object + modifier

Contoh:

1. Farmers in Jati Bali would grow rice crops last month. (Petani-petani di Jati Bali akan

bercocok tanam padi bulan lalu).

2. Some students would conduct research on vegetative plant propagations last semester.

(Beberapa siswa akan melakukan penelitian pada perbanyakan tanaman vegetatif semester

lalu).

3. Transpiration would start to increase at 8 a.m. this morning. (Transpirasi akan mulai

meningkat jam 8 tadi pagi).

Penggunaan Past Future TensePada prinsipnya, past future tense mirip dengan simple future tense dan ketentuan-ketentuan yang

berlaku pada simple future tense umumnya juga berlaku pada past future tense. Tetapi, karena

bergulirnya waktu, simple future tense bergeser dari future time ke past time menjadi past future

tense. Untuk menjelaskan ini, di sini akan digunakan konsep dan contoh-contoh pada future tense.

Past Future Tense, seperti halnya simple future tense, dapat digunakan dalam 5 kategori, yaitu:

1. Untuk menyatakan kembali kejadian/aktivitas yang pernah diprediksi akan terjadi/dilakukan pada

saat tertentu di masa lampau.

Untuk memahami perbedaann past future tense dengan simple future tense, mari kita perhatikan

contoh-contoh kalimat yang diberikan pada simple future tense berikut ini:

1. According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalam cuaca, hujan

akan turun besok).

2. None of us have done the homework the teacher told us to do. He will be very disappointed

when he finds out.

3. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o’clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny’s

girlfriend,will come too.

4. I will probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.

5. The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe catastrophes sooner or later in the

future.

Perhatikan contoh 1 di atas dan anggap saja sekarang adalah tanggal 2 Mei!

• According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (Menurut ramalam cuaca, hujan

akan turun besok).

Dalam bahasa Indonesia, kalimat ini juga berarti:

• Menurut ramalan cuaca, hujan akan turun tanggal 3 Mei.

Kemudian, karena waktu terus bergulir, anggap sekarang sudah tanggal 4 Mei. Berarti, yang diprediksi

tadi (i.e. hujan akan turun) sudah dalam past time, yaitu “kemarin”. Jadi prediksi tadi harus

dinyatakan dalam past future tense menjadi:

1. According to the weather forecast, it would rain yesterday. Atau, According to the weather

forecast, it was going to rain yesterday. Dan begitu juga dengan kalimat-kalimat 2-5 di atas

seiring dengan bergulirnya waktu berturut-turut akan menjadi:

2. We thought that he would be very disappointed when we didn’t do the homework two days

ago. Atau, We thought that he was going to be very disappointed when we didn’t do the

homework two days ago.

3. Ronny came to my house at 7 p.m. two days ago. I thought Jeny, Ronny’s girlfriend,would come

too but she didn’t. Atau, I thought Jeny, Ronny’s girlfriend, was going to come too but she

didn’t.

4. I would probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch. Atau, I was probably going to see Janet

at the cafeteria at lunch.

contoh 4 di bawah).

kejadian/aktivitas yang terjadi in the past (past tense) atau sedang berlangsung in the past (past

continuous tense), tergantung keterangan waktunya.

Penggunaan Past Future Continuous TensePenggunaan past future continuous tense pada prinsipnya sama dengan future continuous tense. Yang

membedakan adalah jika future continuous tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang akan sedang

berlangsung in the future, past future continuous tense menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang akan

sedang berlangsung in the past. Dengan kata lain, past future continuous tense adalah

mengungkapkan kembali prediksi atau rencana yang akan sedang terjadi/dilakukan, dan

prediksi/rencana tersebut sekarang sudah bergeser dari future time ke past time.

Untuk lebih memahami perbedaan antara kedua tensis ini, silakan gunakan kembali analogi yang

digunakan pada past future tense. Tulisan ini juga dibuat dengan menggunakan konsep dan contoh-

contoh pada future continuous tense. Perhatikan dan bandingkan perbedaan waktunya.

Past Future Continuous Tense digunakan:

1. Untuk menyatakan kembali kejadian/aktivitas yang diprediksi/direncanakan akan sedang

terjadi/dilakukan pada waktu yang spesifik di masa lampau. Note: Spesifikasi waktu biasanya

dinyatakan dengan menyatakan jam (i.e. jam berapa kejadian/aktivitas itu diprediksi/direncanakan

akan berlangsung/dilakukan) dan time clause.

Contoh:

1. My daughter would be watching TV at eight o’clock last night. (Putri saya akan sedang

nonton TV jam 8 tadi malam).

2. She would be copying the materials at 10 o’clock this morning. (Dia akan sedang

memfotokopi materi jam 10 pagi ini). Asumsi, sekarang sudah lewat jam 10 pagi.

3. I would be discussing English with my classmates at 2 p.m. last Friday. (Saya akan sedang

mendiskusikan bahasa Inggris dengan teman-teman kelas saya jam 2 sore Jumat lalu).

4. I would be being busy at 8 o’clock yesterday morning. (Saya akan sedang sibuk jam 8 pagi

kemarin).

5. They would be being very happy at 9 o’clock last Saturday night. (Mereka akan sedang

sangat bahagia jam 9 malam minggu lalu).

pertandingan sepak bola jam 11 tadi malam).

2. Untuk menyatakan kejadian/aktivitas yang yang direncanakan akan sedang terjadi/berlangsung di

masa lampau, yang terinterupsi oleh kejadian yang lain. Dalam hal ini, formulanya adalah sebagai

berikut:

When + subject1 + simple past, subject2 + past future continuous

Subject1+ past future continuous + when + subject2 +simple past

Note: Kejadian/aktivitas yang menginterupsi dinyatakan dalam simple past tense dan berfungsi

sebagai keterangan waktu; Sisipkan tanda koma, jika letaknya sebelum past future continuous.

Namun, koma tidak diperlukan jika ditempatkan setelah past future continuous.

Contoh:

1. When I arrived home last night, my daughter would be watching TV. (Ketika saya tiba di

rumah tadi malam, putri saya akan sedang nonton TV).

2. When I called him last night, he would be playing card with his friends. (Ketika saya telpon

(Jika saya pergi ke rumahnya malam minggu lalu, dia akan sedang bersama dengan pacarnya).

3. Untuk menyatakan dua kejadian/aktivitas yang diprediksi atau direncanakan akan sedang

terjadi/dilakukan pada saat bersamaan di masa lampau. Dalam hal ini, gunakan formula berikut:

While + subject1 + past future continuous, subject2 + past future continuous

Subject1 + future continuous + while + subject2 + future continuous

Penggunaan Past Future Perfect TensePast future perfect tense pada prinsipnya adalah pengungkapan kembali kejadian/aktivitas yang

dinyatakan dengan future perfect tense, yang keterangan waktunya telah bergeser dari future time ke

past time. Karena kedua tensis ini mirip, posting ini menggunakan konsep dan contoh-contoh kalimat

pada future perfect tense. Perhatikan dan bandingkan perubahan predikat dan keterangan waktunya.

Gunakan analogi pada past future tense jika masih bingung. Are you ready? Let’s get started.

Past Future Perfect Tense digunakan:1. Untuk menyatakan kembali kejadian/aktivitas yang pernah diprediksi atau direncanakan akan

sudah terjadi/sudah selesai dilakukan sebelum atau hingga batas waktu tertentu di masa lampau.

contoh 2), by the time we got to the airport (pada contoh 3), etc.

2. Untuk menyatakan kembali kegiatan/aktivitas yang pernah diprediksi atau direncanakan akan

sudah terjadi/sudah selesai dilakukan sebelum kejadian/aktivitas yang lain di masa
