  Introduction
  
  This study is devoted to the problem of future tense expression in the modern English language. The problem of futurity and its expression is today of great importance. Many grammarians and linguists investigate traditional and nonstandard means of its expression. Nevertheless, in the modern science the future tense expression is not fully investigated. There is still a question of separation of future tense as a tense form of the English language. Means of its expressing in texts and speech are also not fully defined. Consequently, the theme of the present work is topical today.
  The main objective of the paper is to analyze the ways of expressing the future tense in modern English.
  The tasks of the research are the following:
  1. To examine tense system of the English language.
  2. To study future tenses and other ways of future tense expression in the English language.
  3. To reveal examples of expression of futurity by future tense forms, present tense forms and other ways.
  4. To make a frequency analysis.
  The theoretical basis of the study is represented by the works of R.I. Binnick, M.Y. Blokh, R. Declerck, A. Downing, S. Greenbaum, V.V. Gurevich, M. Hilpert, I.P. Ivanova, O. Jespersen, M. Joshi, V.L. Kayshanskaya, G.N. Leech, H.C. Wekker, and others.

  Chapter 1. Future Tense in the Tense System of English
  
  Tense system of the English language and any other language expresses the people’s attitude towards the notion of time. Time is an integral part of human self-awareness. People conceive of themselves as being located with the present moment (such as moment of speech). This moment is the point from which people observe and experience time. In fact, time does not exist as a tangible object. It results from the people’s capacity of integrating every present state of affairs with experience has left imprinted on their memory or with the happenings that can take place in the future. So, the conceptualization of time is one of the basics of human cognition. People divide time into discrete spheres such as the present functioning as a threshold, the past reflecting what happened earlier, and the future that shows what will happen after the moment of speech.
