Forming the Future Tense[edit | edit source]
To form the future tense in Telugu, we use a combination of the base form of the verb and the auxiliary verb "ఉండవచ్చు" (uṇḍavaccu), which means "will" or "shall." The auxiliary verb is conjugated based on the subject of the sentence, while the base form of the verb remains unchanged.
Here is the general structure for forming the future tense in Telugu:
Subject + "ఉండవచ్చు" (uṇḍavaccu) + Base form of the verb
Let's look at some examples:
Example 1[edit | edit source]
Telugu: నేను చదువుతాను Pronunciation: nēnu caduvutānu English: I will study
Example 2[edit | edit source]
Telugu: మీరు వెళ్ళవచ్చు Pronunciation: mīru veḷḷavaccu English: You will go
Example 3[edit | edit source]
Telugu: అతను పని చేస్తాడు Pronunciation: atanu pani cēstāḍu English: He will work
Example 4[edit | edit source]
Telugu: అమ్మాయిలు పాటలు పాడవచ్చు Pronunciation: ammāyilu pāṭalu pāḍavaccu English: The girls will sing songs
As you can see from these examples, the base form of the verb remains the same, while the auxiliary verb "ఉండవచ్చు" (uṇḍavaccu) indicates the future tense. Make sure to conjugate the auxiliary verb according to the subject of the sentence.
