In this lesson, we'll learn about the future tense in Dutch. The future tense talks about a future action or event, and it's quite easy to form. Let's dive into it!


==Forming the Future Tense==

== Formation ==
To form the future tense in Dutch, we use the conjugated verb 'zullen' (shall/will) and the infinitive form of the main verb.
* Example: ''Ik zal Nederlands leren'' (I will learn Dutch)

|-
| Zij || zullen
|}
|}


==When to Use the Future Tense==
== Usage ==
The future tense is used to talk about things that will happen in the future. It can also be used to express probability or possibility. For example, "Het zal regenen" (It will rain).  
We use the future tense in Dutch to discuss future events, plans, offers or suggestions. In Dutch, we often use the present tense instead of the future tense, especially in more informal conversations.


The future tense can also be used to make polite requests. For example, "Zou je me helpen?" (Would you help me?).
* Example 1: ''Ik zal morgen naar het strand gaan'' (I will go to the beach tomorrow)
* Example 2: ''Zullen wij samen gaan lunchen?'' (Shall we have lunch together?)
* Example 3: ''Ik zal je wat tips geven voor het koken'' (I'll give you some tips for cooking)


==Examples==
== Dialogue ==
Here are some examples of how the future tense is used in everyday conversations:  
* Person 1: Ik zal vanavond een film kijken. (I will watch a movie tonight)
* Person 2: Welke film zal je kijken? (Which movie will you watch?)
* Person 1: Ik zal 'The Godfather' kijken. (I will watch 'The Godfather')
 
== Irregular Verbs ==
As with any language, there are some irregular verbs in the future tense in Dutch. These include:
* Zijn (to be): zal zijn (will be)
* Hebben (to have): zal hebben (will have)
* Kunnen (can): zal kunnen (will be able to)


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Infinitive Verb !! Future Tense
|-
|-
! Dutch !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|Zijn (to be) || zal zijn 
|-
|-
| Ik zal morgen naar huis gaan. || eek zahl mohr-ghen nah-huhr hoi-sah gah-n || I will go home tomorrow.
|Hebben (to have) || zal hebben
|-
|-
| Zij zullen ons helpen. || zigh zool-len ohns hel-pen || They will help us.
