I know this matter has been brought up some many times it's already becoming annoying but I've been sweeping through dozens of threads around this and some other forums only to find out they've all gone sideways. I'm solely looking for a point of view without planning on starting or provoking a debate on or around this subject.
I'm well aware of all the reasoning behind the hypothesis stating that English has a two-tense system and it literally has no future As mentioned above, I'm not looking to prove this theory is wrong but for some enlightenment with respect to the other POV.
My question is, what are reasons to account for the existence of a Future Tense in English, namely what are the linguistic arguments to sustain the theory?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
