A prediction or forecast is a statement about the way things will happen in the future, often but not always based on experience or knowledge.

Here are some sentences to predict something.

• I believe your soccer team will win the match.
• I guess the flood will inundate this area after raining hard.
• I am really sure the young boy will be a great man when he grows up.
• I predict the restaurant will have many customers since it provides a good service.

The Simple Future Tense and Prediction

When making predictions (what we think will happen in the future) we can either use:

will followed by the verb without to, or going to followed by the verb

What (do you think)	will happen?
	is going to happen?

(I think) ...	will ...
	won't ...
	is going to ...
	isn't going to ...

Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the future.

• She will be here in a couple of minutes.
• It will be summer soon.
• Next week is going to be very busy, I think.

The will / shall structure is also used to express conditional ideas, when we say what will happen if something else happens.

• If it rains, we will not go out.
• You will have an accident if you continue to drink and drive.

Will can also be used to make predictions about the present or past.

• Don’t phone them now, they will be having dinner.
• As you will have noticed, we have appointed a new receptionist.

Sometimes we use predictions as a way of giving orders. For example, instead of telling somebody to do something, sometimes we just say firmly that it will happen.

• You will take that medicine whether you like it or not.
• You will start work at six o’clock sharp.
• He will do the exercise before he goes out.
