Asked by Tony

Please help.

Am I correct in saying that the following phrase is future simple tense?

'if it rains tomorrow'

Answers

Answered by Writeacher
Future tense includes the auxiliary verbs will or shall ...

It will rain tomorrow.
We shall need to take umbrellas with us.

What you wrote is the first part of a conditional statement (if....then....), and the future isn't used ... yet.

If it rains (<~~present, subjunctive) tomorrow, I will have (<~~future, indicative) to wear different clothing and take an umbrella.
