Absolutely, the future simple tense in English language is used to describe an action that hasn't happened yet but will take place in the future. It's formed by using 'will' + 'verb'.
For example, "She will travel to France." 'Will' is our auxiliary verb, and 'travel' is the main verb. It's straight forward and doesn't change based on the subject, so whether it's 'I', 'You', 'He', 'She', 'It', 'We', or 'They' – you always use 'will'.
It's important to mention that we also use future simple to make predictions, promises, threats, or unplanned decisions. Like saying "I think it will rain tomorrow." Usually, these sentences are based on personal judgement or opinion. Not to forget, with words expressing future like 'tomorrow', 'next week', 'in a year', future simple is your go-to tense.
Think of the future simple tense as a time machine, catapulting your sentences from the present to the future. Just remember 'will' and your main verb, and you're all set for this journey.
