Hi,

1) I have to study English tomorrow.
or
I will have to study English tomorrow.

2) Although I take an English exam tomorrow, I haven't studied yet.
or
Although I will take an English exam tomorrow, I haven't studied yet.

Must we use 'will' in those examples or not?

Thanks.

Both forms at 1 are OK. Neither example at 2 is natural. the natural way to say it is "Although I am taking an English exam tomorrow..."

Thanks for the answer. But I couldn't understand something. Can't we use 'will-be going to' with 'although, though, even though' for the meaning of future?

It's grammatical with "will" or "be going to" but it's more natural with present continuous.

I think there is a different position for the verb ''have'' because we can use the verb 'have' with the meaning of future.

-Although I have an exam tomorrow, I still don't want to study.

I think that is OK.

Thanks.

Yes, that's OK.
