This work is messy. In future, please use the template provided. <- ok here, imperative? This work is messy. In the future, please use the template provided. . In the future cars will fly.

Unfortunately no. I have it in an exercise and have to explain to a student. The task is: Will he go to ... work in ... future? She didn't insert an article there and asked me why it was needed. Another example I found is "Smoking is bad. Don't smoke in future."

I'm having a hard time thinking of an example of "in future." Can you give an example of it?
