From Now to Will

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4 and 5 strengthen their understanding of the simple future tense by transforming present- and past-tense sentences into clear future statements. Students rewrite each sentence using will + base verb, learning how tense changes affect meaning and how the auxiliary will signals actions that have not yet happened. A final prediction section encourages students to apply the tense in meaningful, real-world contexts.
