Abstract EN
Tense is a granunatical category that locates a situation in time which indicates when the situation takes place.
Tense is a part of grammar.
Mastering tense is very important because if we do not use appropriate tense, it may cause misunderstanding especially in written language, u^ortunately students confuse with English tenses, even for the university students.
They assume tenses as a big burden.
Previous researches have proved that future tense is a complicated area of grammar since there are different ways of expressing this structure in English language.
Hence the future tense is considered to be the most difficult structure for Iraqi learners of EFT, but none of the previous studies have tackled with the ability to recognize and produce this structure correctly.
This study aims at: 1.
Studying the acquisition of Purity by Iraq EFL learners to decide whether they eventually succeed in acquiring it or not.
2.
Investigating the errors the learners made in recognizing and producing the future tense.
In order to folfill the aims of the study the following hypothesis is proposed : The Iraqi EFL learners are good at the level of achievement in recognizing and producing foturity.
The researchers have adopted a number of procedures to achieve the aims and to verify the hypothesis.
Among which is to construct a test of two - elicitation techniques namely; re-writing ( for production ) and multiple - choice for ( recognition ).
The study is limited to( 41) fourth - year students at the Department of English , college ofBasic Education / u^versity A1 Mustansiryah during the academic 2012 - 2013.
The study is also limited to future tense excluding present and past tenses.
