The Auxiliary Will Described in Educational Grammar

Park, Nomin
(Kangnung National University)

The English auxiliary will is used to express pure future and modaliy as well. Some grammarians argue that English has no future tense as the auxiliary will has very limited use and low frequency of pure future. Theoretically, only pure future can be the meaning of the future tense. This paper, however, shows that both wills of pure future and epistemic future share the same syntactic features and suggests that both pure future and epistemic future can form the meaning of the future tense in English. This agrees with the fact that when we say of the future, we mostly express modaliy as well. It also makes it easier for the English students to understand the tense system in English fully and to use it properly.
