== Panjabi Grammar Review ==
=== Structure of Future Tense in Panjabi ===


Before we delve into the future tense, let's quickly review some essential aspects of Panjabi grammar and sentence structure.
In Panjabi, the future tense is generally formed by using the root form of the verb along with specific suffixes. Let's explore how this works:


=== Subject-Object-Verb Order ===
* '''Singular Forms''':


Panjabi follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order. This means that the subject comes first, followed by the object, and then the verb. For example:
* For the first person (I), we typically use '''-ਵਾਂ''' (vāṅ).


* Panjabi: ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਆਉਣਦਾ ਹੈ।
* For the second person (you), we use '''-ਗੇ''' (ge).
* Pronunciation: Mainuṁ panjābī āuṇḍā hai.
* Translation: I speak Panjabi.


In this example, "ਮੈਨੂੰ" (mainuṁ) is the subject, "ਪੰਜਾਬੀ" (panjābī) is the object, and "ਆਉਣਦਾ" (āuṇḍā) is the verb.
* For the third person (he/she/it), we use '''-ਗਾ''' () for masculine and '''-ਗੀ''' () for feminine.


=== Nouns and Pronouns ===
* '''Plural Forms''':


Nouns in Panjabi can be either masculine or feminine. They also have singular and plural forms. Pronouns, on the other hand, are used to replace nouns in a sentence. Here are some examples:
* For the first person plural (we), we use '''-ਗੇ''' (ge).


* Panjabi: ਮੈਂ ਆਪਾ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
* For the second person plural (you all), we also use '''-ਗੇ''' (ge).
* Pronunciation: Maiṁ āpā nūṁ dekhan jāṇdā hāṁ.
* Translation: I am going to see myself.


In this example, "ਮੈਂ" (maiṁ) is the pronoun used to replace the noun "ਆਪਾ" (āpā).
* For the third person plural (they), we use '''-ਣਗੇ''' (ṇge).


=== Adjectives and Adverbs ===
Here’s a visual representation of these forms in a table:


Adjectives in Panjabi are used to describe nouns, while adverbs are used to describe verbs. They usually come after the noun or verb they modify. Here's an example:
{| class="wikitable"


* Panjabi: ਉਸਦਾ ਗੀਤ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੋਹਣਾ ਹੈ।
! Person !! Singular Form !! Plural Form
* Pronunciation: Usadā gīt bahut sohnā hai.
* Translation: His song is very beautiful.


In this example, "ਉਸਦਾ" (usadā) is the adjective modifying the noun "ਗੀਤ" (gīt), and "ਬਹੁਤ" (bahut) is the adverb modifying the verb "ਸੋਹਣਾ" (sohnā).

Now that we have reviewed the basics of Panjabi grammar, let's move on to the future tense.
| First (I) || -ਵਾਂ (vāṅ) || -ਗੇ (ge)


== Future Tense in Panjabi ==
|-


The future tense in Panjabi is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. To form the future tense, we use the auxiliary verb "ਹੋਵੇਗਾ" (hovēgā) followed by the main verb in its infinitive form. Let's take a look at some examples:
| Second (You) || -ਗੇ (ge) || -ਗੇ (ge)

| Third Masculine (He) || -ਗਾ (gā) || -ਣਗੇ (ṇge)

=== Examples of Future Tense Verbs ===
