You have past tense (was, did, said) you have present tense (am, do, say) but I have never read anything in future tense, so I do not know how to write like that. Please write a sentence or two in future tense so I know what you mean.

Apparently English has no such thing as future tense. "Will" falls into some sort of verb category that isn't future, and every other verb in English is used in the present tense form to express future ideas.

I've never heard of one. There a quite a few books written in the present tense like Rabbit, Run and Fight Club. The future tense is extremely awkward in English and I think it would be really difficult to write an entire book that way.

"isnt some science fiction books in the furture tense cause their in the future?" LOL. As to your question, I don't think books like that actually exist. I don't see how a story could flow if the entire text is written in future tense. But if it IS possible, that would be really interesting. I'd like to see how that works.

I will say, I will do.... will is the only word I can see working.... I suggest only writing in a future tense occasionally, for a character's aspirations, etc. Not an entire story, it gets confusing!

Technically what the German translator said is true. In English, the future is expressed as a mood.
Nevertheless:
Tomorrow, I will do my laundry in the morning, go for a swim in the afternoon, and attend a meeting in the evening. I will go to bed tired, but with a sense of accomplishment.

add the helping word, "will ' before the infinitive.
I will explain and you will understand. When will I shut down the computer? I will not have a life if I don't.

you use "will" or "won't" or "going to". like, "I will go to the store" or "I won't be home to take the call" or "I am going to write a letter tomorrow".
