Hi Slovak learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Slovak. We will look at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of its use. Let's get started!
Forming the Future Tense
The future tense in Slovak is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the verb stem. The endings are as follows:

For example, the verb byť (to be) has the following forms in the future tense:
| Person | Form |
|---|---|
| First person singular | budem |
| Second person singular | budeš |
| Third person singular | bude |
| First person plural | budeme |
| Second person plural | budete |
