Future Simple Passive is used to talk about an action that is going to happen in the future. In the passive voice, emphasis is put on the effect of an action rather than on the doer.
First, let’s refresh the Future Simple structure with the Active Voice:
[subject] + will + verb without ‘to’
To make statements with the Future Simple Passive, use:
[subject] + will be + the Past Participle form of the verb
Future Simple Passive forms are normally built using ‘will’ rather than ‘going to’:
Singular | Plural |
I will be treated You will be treated He/she/it will be treated | We will be treated You will be treated They will be treated |
It doesn’t matter if the subject of your sentence is singular or plural. The structure doesn’t change.
We use Future Simple Passive for actions or events that will happen in future (tomorrow, next week (month, year), in 2020). Unlike the Future Perfect Passive, there’s no deadline here. In such statements we focus attention on the person or thing affected by the action, when the subject is unknown, unclear or irrelevant.
Compare:
In these examples, the focus is on the effect of the future action, it’s not important who will perform the action.
We can also use Future Simple Passive with verbs that are not used in continuous tenses (state verbs).
We use Future Simple Passive with the same meaning as Future Simple in the active voice except for the fact that Future Simple Passive makes focus on the effect (or the object) rather than the doer (the subject) of an action. Read more about the uses of Future Simple here.
Making a negative Future Simple Passive form is easy. Just insert ‘not‘ between ‘will’ and ‘be’ (you can also use ‘won’t’ instead of ‘will not’).
To make a question in Future Simple Passive, swap the subject and ‘will’. The structure for asking questions in Future Simple Passive is:
will + [subject] + be + Past Participle
To make a wh-question, insert a question word before ‘will’:
