The Future Simple (Indefinite) Tense
Будущее простое (неопределенное) время
Будущее простое время употребляется с такими наречиями времени, как
tomorrow – завтра,
tomorrow morning – завтра утром,
next week – на следующей неделе,
next year – в следующе мгоду,
next month – в следующем месяце,
in a month – через месяц,
the day after tomorrow – послезавтра,
tonight – сегодня вечером и т. д.
Будущее простое время образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола will или shall плюс начальная форма глагола. Shall употребляется для первого лица единственного числа (I), а will – для всех остальных лиц и чисел. Однако форма shall считается несколько устаревшей, поэтому чаще всего вместо нее используется will. Сокращенная форма– 'll.
I shall/will show you the way.
He will take me to the zoo tomorrow.
She will buy a leaflet for you.
They will build a new railway bridge next year.
He’ll stay here tomorrow.

Elizabeth Moodie, a Tourist Information Officer
Elizabeth Moodie works as a tourist information officer. She works in Marlow, a small town on the river Thames not far from London.
Mainly she is here to help people. They always want something and it’s her job to make sure that they get it.
Elizabeth helps some tourists.
Tourist 1: Are there any restaurants in Marlow where I can take my two children?
Elizabeth: In fact there are several. Turn right into Pound Street – let me show you. You are here. Go along Pound Street to these double roundabouts. Turn left to High Street and there are several restaurants and cafes on the left-hand side.
Tourist 2: I have an appointment at the Globe Park Business Estate. Could you tell me the way there?
Elizabeth: Right. You leave this car park and turn right. Let me show you on the map – it is probably easier. Follow that road. You will come to a large roundabout. Turn right again and the Globe Park will be on the right-hand side.
Tourist 3: Good afternoon. I’m looking for accommodation in the area.
Elizabeth: Yes, I see. Do you want a hotel or a guest house?
Tourist 3: A hotel would be fine.
Elizabeth: This leaflet will give you the information about the hotels in Marlow.
The river makes Marlow attractive to visitors. And the town is unspoilt. It has a very happy atmosphere and it’s peaceful, and I think that it’s important nowadays.

Elementary, My Dear Watson
one lovely evening, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty friend Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After having dinner and drinking a few glasses of wine, they became tired and went to sleep. A couple hours passed and Sherlock Holmes awoke, and shortly thereafter woke Dr. Watson as well. He said, «Watson, look up, and tell me what you see.»
Dr. Watson replied, «Well, sir, I see millions of stars in the sky.»
Sherlock Holmes asked, «And what does that tell you?»
Dr. Watson paused for a moment and said, «Well, astronomically it tells me that there are billions of stars and possibly millions of galaxies in the universe. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Horalogically I can deduce that it is approximately quarter past three in the morning. Theologically it symbolizes that God is magnificent and that we humans are small and insignificant in the universe. And meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.»
To which Sherlock Holmes replied, «No, stupid! Someone has stolen our tent!»
Restless God
in the beginning, god created Earth and rested.
Then God created man and rested.
Then God created woman.
Since then, neither God nor man has rested.
A Driving Debacle
a guy was driving when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his window and said to the officer, «Is there a problem, Officer?»
«No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. What do you think you're going to do with the money?»
He thought for a minute and said, «Well, I guess I'll go get that drivers' license.»
The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, «Oh, don't pay attention to him – he's a smart ass when he's drunk and stoned.»
The guy from the back seat said, «I TOLD you guys we wouldn't get far in a stolen car!»
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, «Are we over the border yet?»
An O'Malley Coincidence
a man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
«Why, of course,» comes the reply.
The first man then asks, «Where are you from?»
«I'm from Ireland,» replies the second man.
The first man responds, «You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland.»
«Of course,» says the second.
Curious, the first asks, «Where in Ireland?»
«Dublin», comes the reply.
«I can't believe it, me too! Lets have another round of drinks to Dublin».
«Of course».
The second man can't help himself so he asks, «What school did you go to?»
«Saint Mary's», replies the first man. «I graduated in 62.»
«This is becoming unbelievable!!!» the second man said.
About that time, in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. «What's up?» he asks the bartender.
«Nothing much», replied the bartender. «The O'Malley twins are drunk again!»
