In Arabic we have only 3 tenses: Past - Present - Future. (Perfect and progressive cases are not found in Arabic)
Arabic language has a relatively simple tense system, consisting of only three tenses: past, present, and future. Unlike other languages, Arabic does not have perfect or progressive tenses.  
 
We form Future from the present tense <code>المضارع</code>.
 
You can form the Future tense by adding the letter <code>س</code> to the beginning of present tense verb.
 
س should be attached to the verb.
 
===Examples===
* '''Present tense:''' يدرس الطلاب  (The students study)
* '''Future Tense:''' سيدرس الطلاب (The students will study)
 
There is another way for forming the future tense, which is similar to the above one, but the difference is you need to use the article <code>سوف</code>.
 
It should be noted that the article سوف shall be separated and NOT attached to the verb and should come before the verb directly.  


===Examples===
The future tense in Arabic is formed by using the present tense, known as <code>المضارع</code>, as a base. To create the future tense, the letter <code>س</code> is added to the beginning of the present tense verb, and it should be attached to the verb. This results in a simple and straightforward way of expressing actions or events that will occur in the future. By mastering the use of the present and future tenses in Arabic, learners can effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas in both spoken and written forms.
* '''Present tense:''' يدرس الطلاب  (The students study)
* '''Future Tense:''' سوف يدرس الطلاب (The students will study)


The main difference between both articles is that س is used to refer to the near future, while سوف refers to the far future.
The second way to form the future tense is by using the article <code>سوف</code>, which is placed before the verb directly. This method is used to refer to actions that will take place in the far future. For example, "The students will study" is translated as "سوف يدرس الطلاب" using this method.


For example:
It's important to note that the article <code>سوف</code> should be separated and NOT attached to the verb. This is different from the first method, where the letter <code>س</code> is attached to the verb.


*I will study my lessons. أنا سأذاكر دروسي
By understanding the difference between the two methods, learners can choose the appropriate one to express their intended meaning. For instance, "أنا سأذاكر دروسي" means "I will study my lessons" and refers to a near future action, while "أنا سوف أذاكر دروسي" also means "I will study my lessons" but refers to a far future action. By mastering both methods, learners can become more proficient in expressing their ideas and plans in Arabic.


It means I will study my lessons after a short time after talking.
== Examples ==
 
 
*أنا سوف أذاكر دروسي
 
It means I will study my lessons but not now, may be tomorrow or any other time.

Arabic language has a relatively simple tense system, consisting of only three tenses: past, present, and future. Unlike other languages, Arabic does not have perfect or progressive tenses.

The future tense in Arabic is formed by using the present tense, known as المضارع, as a base. To create the future tense, the letter س is added to the beginning of the present tense verb, and it should be attached to the verb. This results in a simple and straightforward way of expressing actions or events that will occur in the future. By mastering the use of the present and future tenses in Arabic, learners can effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas in both spoken and written forms.

The second way to form the future tense is by using the article سوف, which is placed before the verb directly. This method is used to refer to actions that will take place in the far future. For example, "The students will study" is translated as "سوف يدرس الطلاب" using this method.

It's important to note that the article سوف should be separated and NOT attached to the verb. This is different from the first method, where the letter س is attached to the verb.

By understanding the difference between the two methods, learners can choose the appropriate one to express their intended meaning. For instance, "أنا سأذاكر دروسي" means "I will study my lessons" and refers to a near future action, while "أنا سوف أذاكر دروسي" also means "I will study my lessons" but refers to a far future action. By mastering both methods, learners can become more proficient in expressing their ideas and plans in Arabic.
