Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Future Its Origin and Development Origin: A Dissertation Written for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy From the University of Leipzig The student of English, at the outset of his work in the grammar of the language, finds in the inflection of the verb a paradigm called the "future tense", made up of the two verbs shall and will combined with the verb that serves as the model of conjugation; e. g. I shall love, We shall love, Thou wilt love, You will love, He will love, They will love. He is told, moreover, in the text of his book or by his teacher that in English the future tense is composed of the "auxiliary verbs" shall and will prefixed to the infinitive of the verb whose future he may wish to form, shall being used in the first person and will in the second and third. This statement of the elementary instruction books, though not complete, is in a certain sense true; to express ´a future action the language often makes use of the formula given, though not to the exclusion of other modes of expression, and though this combination, in spite of the name given to it, does not always have the sense of a future. Whether it should be called a "tense" at all is a question of terminology, the answer depending on the definition of the word "tense", but when it expresses the same meaning as the future tense of other languages there is no impropriety in calling it a "future".
