Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will explore the future tense in Northern Kurdish. The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen after the present moment. Understanding how to form and use the future tense is essential for expressing future actions and making plans in Northern Kurdish. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use the future tense in your conversations and written expressions.

Formation of the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

To form the future tense in Northern Kurdish, we use the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. Unlike in English, there is no distinction between singular and plural subjects in the future tense. The formation of the future tense is consistent for all subjects.

Here is the general structure for forming the future tense:

Subject + "will" + base form of the verb

Let's look at some examples:
