We can make a simple yes/no question about the future by starting a question with “will”.
Will + subject + verb…?
A) Will you go to his party next Friday?
B) Yes, I will go to his party.
A) Will she come to work today?
B) No, she will not come to work today.
A) Will it rain tomorrow?
B) I don’t know if it will rain. Check the weather channel.
Use this pattern with adjectives, nouns, or prepositional phrases.
Will + subject + be + adjective/noun….?
A) Will the movie be funny?
B) Yes, the movie will be funny.
A) Will she be angry?
B) No, she won’t.
A) Will she be at the party?
B) No, she said that she will not come to the party.
We can also use “Will you…?” to ask somebody for a favor or help. Look at a few examples.
A) Will you give this to your boss?
B) Sure, no problem.
A) Will you help me check this work?
B) I am sorry, but I can’t. I have a lot of work to do.
Add the word please to make it more polite. We can add please in different places.
A) Will you please help me?
B) Sure.
A) Will you come here, please?
B) Okay.
A) Please, will you check this?
B) No problem.
Just like other yes/no questions, we can answer with a short or long answer.
Will you go to the party?
- Yes, I will go to the party. / Yes, I‘ll go to the party.
- Yes, I will go. / Yes, I’ll go.
- Yes, I will. /
Yes, I’ll. - Yes.
Will he give a speech?
- No, he will not give a speech. / No, he won’t give a speech.
- No, he will not go. / No, he won’t go.
- No, he will not. / No, he won’t.
- No.
Notice that it is possible to end a sentence with “will not” or “won’t. We can end a sentence with “will”, but we cannot end a sentence with a positive contraction, for example, “she’ll”.
