Future Tense Flashcards
(2 cards)
Future Tense:
The future tense is simple to form in German. Just use the present tense forms ofwerdenand put the infinitive to the end of the sentence. However, German usually relies on the present tense to indicate the future (implied future) and uses time expressions, such as tonight, tomorrow, etc. so the actual future tense is not quite as common in German as it is in English. Wir gehen morgen nach Deutschlandis translated asWe are going to Germany tomorrow, and implies a future action, yet it uses the present tense, in both German and English. To express present or future probability, usewohl(probably) with the future tense.
