Who knew Planet of the Apes was a documentary!

Hmmm. "Documentary" is a word for events that have or are now happening.

Unlike Hebrew, English lacks a future predictive tense, I wonder what word they use and we can adopt for a future event "documentary".

To: null and void

Dumb English question, but isn’t “future predictive” in English accomplished by

“will” and “going to” (or “fixin to”

Like:

Sara will not sing at shul tomorrow.

Sara is going to read at shul tomorrow.
