+- **future tense**
+
+Whenever possible, use present, not future, tense. Don't switch
+unnecessarily from present to future tense when present tense is
+sufficient to express a sequence of steps or events.
+
+Present tense is easier to read than past or future tense. Simple verbs
+are easier to read and understand than complex verbs, such as verbs in
+the progressive or perfect tense.
