The future
There are multiple future tenses in English.
e.g. - I will have … next week.
- I’m having … next week.
- I’m going to have … next week.
- There’s a party … next week.
- We’ll be having … next week.
- There’s going to be… next week.
These examples show that the form is different, however, the meaning (function) is the same.

7. Verb forms and their uses
Voice – perspective (focus)
Active voice – In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
In this example the subject is doing the verb's action. e.g. “Andy Murray beat Roger Federer.”
Passive voice - One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.
Note in this example how the subject-verb relationship has changed. e.g. “Roger Federer, was beaten by Andy Murray.”
