The word future is the term that in our language we use with recurrence when we want to express the time to come or what is to come.
Time or what is to come
We use this last sense mostly to talk about those issues, things, that will become a reality in a near time.
It still didn't happen unlike the past and present
If we draw a line in time, the future is located after the past and the present, and it is the one that is especially characterized because it has not yet happened, In other words, it is known that it is going to arrive, that it is going to happen at a given moment, but seen in the present, from where it is spoken of, it stands as a conjecture, a possibility.
Meanwhile, its main difference with the other times that we set is that it has not passed yet, the past is already there, it was, and the present is being right now, then, the future always has, for this reason, not having passed, a quota of uncertainty, something that does not happen with the past and the present because they are known, experienced or experienced.
The only thing we can do about the future are assumptions, plans, which are organized in the present but we will have to wait a while to see them materialize.
There is no specific time for the future, when you talk about it, you may be talking about twenty years ahead of today, ten, four years, or forty minutes.
Since man is such he has been busy and concerned about the future, for himself and for the humanity that surrounds him, and Therefore, the issue has been a topic that has been widely approached in all ages of humanity and also by many disciplines and Sciences.
It could be predicted but not with total certainty
In any case, it is important to mention that the future cannot be predicted with absolute and total accuracy.

The meteorology, on the other hand, is a discipline which is concerned at present with predicting, through technological tools and special instruments, the weather, so that people can know today how the weather will be next week.
Also, the discipline of astrology is exclusively concerned with making future predictions about events and about people from the observation of the stars.
In all these considerations and approaches that have been made about the future, the one that grants this time a huge amount of hope and optimism, because of course, it has not happened yet and that allows the person to may think that what is coming, what awaits you will be better than the present and the past.
This of course happens in the minds of those optimistic people, none of this is thought if the person's tendency is the same. provision From a constant look at his past, considering that at that time everything was better, clearly, he will never see anything good or beautiful in the present that he is studying or in the future to come.
It is key in this sense, the disposition that the individual holds.
Grammar: verb tense that expresses actions that happen after the moment they were expressed
For its part, at the request of the grammar, the word future designates that verb tense through which we can express the actions that will happen later, after the moment in which they were enunciated. “The day after tomorrow I have to take a chemistry test.”
