(e.g. I will work).
The future simple tense is used:
(1) to express certainty about a future event, e.g. “I will be 70 this year, so I come from an age before plastic.”
(2) to communicate a decision made at the time of speaking, e.g. “I’ll have the chicken curry” (I'll = I will)
(3) to predict something, e.g. “Talking about the technology behind the project, Drax chief executive Andy Koss said: ‘I think it will make a huge difference to the business and for our employees. I think it will give us a longer future.’”
(4) to express determination, e.g. “To celebrate my 50th birthday I will complete a run across Europe, from the Netherlands to Estonia.”
(5) to make a promise or threat, e.g. “I am on annual leave until dd/mm/yyyy. I will allow each sender one email and if you send me multiple emails, I will randomly delete your emails until there is only one remaining.”
