Future
Mask Off artist
Future is the time that hasn't happened yet—what lies ahead rather than behind.
As an adjective, it describes things yet to come: future generations, my future wife.
In grammar, the future tense indicates actions that will occur.
A person's future is their prospects or destiny: She has a bright future.
Futures are also financial contracts to buy or sell commodities at a set price on a later date.
