For actions that will have finished before a stated future time, we use the future perfect tense. This tense is formed by using "will have" along with the past participle form of the verb (i.e., delivered).
3. Will you see Steve later?
For asking politely about someone's plans in the near future, we use the future simple tense. This tense is formed by using "will" before the base form of the verb (i.e., see).
4. I think John will be late tonight.
For predictions based on what we think or believe, we use the future simple tense. This tense is formed by using "will" before the base form of the verb (i.e., be).
