Mandarin Chinese Grammar for Pimsleur Students/Future tense

Future tense
The future tense is generally indicated by the auxiliary verb 要 (yào). 会 (huì) can also be used in the same way. The difference in meaning is slight; 要 conveys more of a "plan to" or "going to" meaning, while 会 means a default "will," indicating that the speaker is rather confident that the following action will happen, at least when compared to 要.
