Hungarian Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Hungarian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Hungarian. We will look at how to form the future tense, and how to use it in sentences.

The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. In Hungarian, the future tense is formed using the verb "lesz" (to be) and the infinitive form of the verb.

For example:

• I will go - Elmegyek
• You will eat - Eszel
• He will speak - Beszél

The verb "lesz" is conjugated according to the subject of the sentence. For example:
