Both 会 (huì) and 要 (yào) can be used to express the future tense. 会 (huì) is usually used to express a possible or probable outcome, e.g. 明天会下雨 (míngtiān huì xiàyǔ) (it might rain tomorrow); 要 (yào) refers to something definite, e.g. 我明天要上班 (wǒ míngtiān yào shàngbān) (I am going to work tomorrow). 会 (huì), 能 (néng), and 可以 (kěyǐ) can all be used to express ability and are sometimes used interchangeably. Strictly,会 (huì) should express a learned ability, e.g. 我会说法语 (wǒ huì shuō Fǎyǔ) (I can speak French), while 能 (néng) should be used to express physical ability, e.g. 我能跑得很快 (wǒ néng pǎo de hěn kuài) (I can run very fast).
