WILLThere are several ways to express future.
WILL + INFINITIVE
We use it when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker hasn’t decided before.

idea. Invitaremos a mucha gente)
We often use it with: Probably, I expect, I am sure, I think, I wonder…

We form it with the auxiliary will and the infinitive of the main verb.

In negative we add “not” to will.
