MODALITY OF THE FUTURE TENSE IN THE TEXT
Abstract
The article aims to describe the modal meaning of the Future Tense in the English text. The author concludes that the peculiarities of realization of the Future Tense modality in the English language are mostly conditioned by the established system of the language, unique features of its structure. The investigated modal meaning of the future is the basic component of the categorial meaning of the form of a verb which is inseparable from the semantics of tense.
