a) The Futur I<\/em><\/strong> is used to express that an action will only begin after the moment of speaking, especially when you are planning something or making prognoses.<\/p>\n

You form sentences with a conjugated form of the auxiliary verb \u201cwerden\u201d (will).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nSingular<\/strong><\/td>\nPlural<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1st<\/sup> person<\/strong><\/td>\nich werde(I will)<\/td>\nwir werden(we will)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2nd<\/sup> person<\/strong><\/td>\ndu wirst \/ Sie werden(you will)<\/td>\nihr werdet \/ Sie werden(you will)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3rd<\/sup> person<\/strong><\/td>\ner\/sie\/es wird(he\/she\/it will)<\/td>\nSie werden(they will)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Ich werde nach Berlin fahren. \u2013 I will go to Berlin.<\/p>\n

2. Justin wird in Frankfurt arbeiten. \u2013 Justin will work in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

3. Anita und Sven werden hieraten. \u2013 Anita and Sven will marry.<\/p>\n

4. Sie werden eine neue Lieferung bekommen. \u2013 They will get a new delivery. \/ You will get a new delivery. (formal: 2nd<\/sup> person sgl. and pl.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead of the Futur I<\/em><\/strong> you can alternatively use the Pr\u00e4sens<\/em><\/strong> tense to refer to the future. But when you use the Pr\u00e4sens<\/em><\/strong> you have to insert an adverb of time, for example, bald<\/em><\/strong> (soon), gleich<\/em><\/strong> (immediately), n\u00e4chstes Jahr<\/em><\/strong> (next year), am Abend<\/em><\/strong> (in the evening), etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Ich fahre n\u00e4chste Woche nach Berlin. \u2013 I will go to Berlin next week.<\/p>\n

6. Justin arbeitet n\u00e4chstes Jahr in Frankfurt. \u2013 Justin will work in Frankfurt next year.<\/p>\n

7. Anita und Sven heuraten am Samstag. \u2013 Anita and Sven will marry on Saturday.<\/p>\n

8. Sie bekommen morgen eine neue Lieferung. \u2013 You will get a new delivery tomorrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

b) The Futur I<\/em><\/strong> is also used to announce the assumption that an action a) is taking place at the moment or b) will take place in the future. In order to make clear that you only express an assumption you often insert words like: vielleicht \u2013 maybe, vermutlich \u2013 probably, and wohl \u2013 perhaps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Ist David zu Hause? Nein, er wird wohl noch bei einem Freund sein.<\/p>\n
