The article considers the peculiarities of Future simple tense functioning in speech acts of order. Speech act of order is considered as a part of speech strategy. The speech act of order may realize a common communication strategy aimed at establishing the status of a speaker. The order may be a part of a private communications strategy related to realize particular communicative tasks in a particular communicative situation – to achieve an action. Independently of expression means speech act of order is characterized by the indication of speaker’s will and by the impulse to perform an action. Future simple tense with second person pronouns implement speech act of order (someone’s will). Semantic structure of such statements is the following [I order] you will do something. The implicit order is implemented by Future simple tense but intonation has the most important role. Predicates in Future simple tense forms represent the second part of the statement, whereas the first is implicit [I order].
