Future tense

I don't understand your question, but the verb "bear" can be used in the "future tense".

Mary is pregnant. She will bear her child in October.

Of course you cannot use the combination: will can (not) bear - English does not allow two modal auxiliary verbs (in this case: can, will) together.

For can you use 'be able to' in future tenses:

Present: I can't come
Future: I won't be able to come.

Present: I can't bear fighting with you.
Future: I will not be able to bear fighting with you. -> Sounds very weird!

You may use: won't bear.
But I'm not sure about it.

Good point. "will (not) be able to" can be used for some situation in the future.

Hi Alphecca,

I had a question about this

I can't bear it

I won't be able to bear it

What about

I can't take it anymore. You annoy me.

Can you say that in the future tense?

I won't be able to take it anymore. Is that natural?

Thank you so much Have a good day

I can't take it anymore. Since it is a statement of exasperation as a present condition, I cannot imagine it being used in future tense.

You annoy me. Perfectly OK: eg. You will annoy grandmother if you don't behave while we are visiting her..

but isn't it the same as bear in the future

you are telling this kid that if you continue, you won't be able to take it anymore.

this is the same sort, what you think


Thank you Alphecca.
