Future Tenses

Futurity in English is expressed either by using words that imply future action ("I go to Berlin next week.") or by employing an auxiliary construction combined with the main verb which represents the true action of the sentence (Source: Wikipedia).

The most common auxiliary verbs used to express futurity are will, can,should, may, and must.
