== Conjugation of Regular Future Tense Verbs ==
 
In Standard Moroccan Tamazight, the future tense is formed by using the appropriate prefix (which often includes the pronoun) and the root of the verb. The prefix generally depends on the subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, you plural, they).
 
'''Regular Future Tense Formation''':
 
1. '''Prefix''': The prefix changes according to the subject pronoun.
 
2. '''Root''': The verb's root remains unchanged.
 
3. '''Suffix''': Typically, there is no additional suffix for regular verbs.
 
Here's how the conjugation works:
 
| Subject Pronoun | Tamazight Prefix | Example Verb (to write) | Future Tense Conjugation |
 
|------------------|------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------|
 
| I                | a-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | a-ⵉⵙⵉ (a isi)        |
 
| You (singular)  | t-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | t-ⵉⵙⵉ (t isi)        |
 
| He              | y-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | y-ⵉⵙⵉ (y isi)        |
 
| She              | t-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | t-ⵉⵙⵉ (t isi)        |
 
| We              | n-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | n-ⵉⵙⵉ (n isi)        |
 
| You (plural)    | t-              | ⵉⵙⵉ (isi)            | t-ⵉⵙⵉ (t isi)        |
