(sing is an irregular verb)To form the simple future tense you should follow this formula:Subject + Will + VerbFor example:I will play.I will go.

What is the grammar rule for didn't see and didn't saw?

When you form the Negative and the Interrogative of a Past Tense verb, you use the auxiliary TO DO in the Past Tense = DID + the Short Infinitive of the respective verb (the Infinitive minus TO). The information that we are dealing with a Past Tense is included in the auxiliary verb, so we don't need to use the Past Tense of the main verb, too. Therefore, you should say "didn't see", not "didn't saw".
