tok pisin only has 3 tenses
present, things that are now
past, things that were
future, things that are yet to come

this is how you form the future tense, it’s quite simple:
”bai” + verb

example:
”we (you & i) eat” or ”we are eating
-> ”yumi kaikai”
”we will eat”
-> ”yumi bai kaikai”

this applies to any verb, no matter the subject:
”it is raining”
-> ”ren i pun daun”
”it’s going to rain”
-> ”ren i bai pun daun”

(please correct me if i made a mistake or missed something)
