Although the "going to" future is more commonly used for plans, the future simple can still express a planned event, especially when the speaker hasn’t yet made the decision.
Example: I will start my new remote job next Wednesday.
- Requests or Invitations:
Example: Will Rima come to the cinema with us?
2 _ Structure of the Future Simple Tense:
The Future Simple tense is formed using "will" or "shall" (rarely used nowadays, except with "I" and "we" in formal contexts) followed by the base form of the verb.
- Positive Sentences:
Subject + will + base verb ( The infinitive form of the verb without to ) + the rest of the sentence.
Example:
_ Assia will travel to Paris next week .
_ Mounir will watch the classic with us .

_ They will not (won’t) visit us on Monday .
- Questions:
Will + subject + base verb ( The infinitive form of the verb without to ) + The rest of the sentence + ?
