USAGE
The Future Indefinite is used to denote:
1) decisions taken at the moment of speaking (on-the-spot decisions): Since it's getting dark, I 'll turn on the light.
2) hopes, fears, threats, offers, promises, warnings, predictions, requests, comments etc., especially with: expect, hope, believe, I'm sure, I'm afraid, probably, etc.: I'm afraid I' ll be a little late.
3) actions or predictions which may (not) happen in the future: She' ll probably buy this dress (prediction);
4) actions which we cannot control or will inevitably happen: He will be twenty next year.
5) future actions in the object clauses of a compound sentence: I don't know if (whether) the play will be a success. I wonder when he will come back.
6) a succession of future actions: I will get up at 7 then I will have breakfast.
Note: The Present Indefinite is used instead of the Future Indefinite to denote a future action in the adverbial clauses of time and condition (after the conjunctions: when, before, after, till, until, as soon as, if = whether, unless): I' ll call you as soon as he comes. If the weather is fine tomorrow we' ll go to the country.
