For describing future actions not on a fixed timetable, such as contributions to a bake sale, the future tense is preferred, e.g., “We will bake.”
The question is about deciding on a grammatical tense when describing future contributions to a bake sale. For describing actions that will occur in the future, the future tense should be used. Phrases like “we will contribute” or “I will bake” express commitment to future action.
However, in English, the present simple is sometimes used for scheduled events and timetables, such as “the sale starts at 9 a.m.”
In the context provided, because the action of contributing to the bake sale is not a part of a fixed timetable, the preferred tense would be the future tense. For instance, saying “We will make enough money” implies confidence and determination about the future, which can be motivating for the other people involved.
The probable question may be:
The bake sale will not have enough baked goods to sell. We all need to contribute to make it a success. We will make enough money.
Is there a preferred tense for describing our future contributions to the bake sale, such as present simple or future tense?
