How does it work?
When we talk about the future, we can never be really sure
about what is going to happen. So the amount of belief we
have in a future event is usually important to indicate in
some way. However, estimating how far a speaker or writer
believes in what they are saying or writing can seem one of
the hardest things to guess correctly. Each language may
have a slightly different way of indicating probability, but
once you understand the theory behind it the rest is a little
simpler. In English, there is actually a fairly simple rule of
thumb:
- Use a realistic tense for something you believe will
happen, an 'unrealistic' tense for a future event you
believe is more unlikely.
