Default Re: How would you define the future time?

After hearing what you have said here, I am glad I don't have the chatting messenger. I find your message is pointless. What you are saying is no more than a mother is a woman. What I mean is, there is nothing inside. Seeing is believing.

For instance, you have put many words into my example expressing an uncertainty:
Ex: John will be in his office now.

He will be coming within this minute which would be considered as present time "now", not The Present Tense.

How on earth can anyone discuss with a message with so many "Maybe"? You have done nothing but supporting my example is expressing an uncertainty.

-------------------------
I have already proven my points:
1. The future time is overlapped with the present time.
2. The criterion of using Future Tense is not because of future time, but uncertainty.

I have not found anything in your message that contradicts my points.

My suggestion:
It was time for you to explain why Yesterday is past time.
