Future most commonly means the time that is to come, or the events that will happen after the present.merriam-webster+3
In everyday usage, “the future” refers to the period of time after now and to what will happen in that period, as when we say “I worry about the future” or “We need to plan for the future.” Philosophically, it is defined as the time after the past and present, whose arrival is considered inevitable given the existence of time and physical laws. The word can also refer to someone’s prospects or expected development (“a bright future in this career”), highlighting anticipated conditions rather than just time.dictionary.cambridge+4
In grammar, “future” names the verb tense used for actions that have not yet happened but are expected or planned, such as “will go” or “is going to go.” In finance, “futures” (usually plural) are standardized contracts to buy or sell assets at a set price for delivery at a later date.wikipedia+3
