== Formation ==
 
To form the Future Tense in Cebuano, you need to add the word "mag" before the verb. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Cebuano !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Mag-trabaho ka || mag-tɾa'bo-ho ka || You will work
|-
| Mag-kaon ako ug pinya || mag-ka'on 'ako 'ug 'pi-'nya || I will eat pineapple
|-
| Mag-lakaw ta sa parke || mag-la-'kaw ta sa paɾ-'ke || We will walk to the park
|}
 
== Negation ==
 
To make a negative sentence in future tense, you simply add "dili" before "mag". For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Cebuano !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Cebuano !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Dili mag-trabaho ka || di'li mag-tɾa'bo-ho ka || You will not work
|-
|-
| Mag-uya ako sa adlawa. || maɡ-uja ako sa adlaʋa || I will go tomorrow.
| Dili mag-kaon ako ug pinya || di'li mag-ka'on 'ako 'ug 'pi-'nya || I will not eat pineapple
|-
|-
| Mag-abot ko sa imong balay. || maɡ-abot ko sa imoŋ balaj || I will come to your house.
| Dili mag-lakaw ta sa parke || di'li mag-la-'kaw ta sa paɾ-'ke || We will not walk to the park
|}
 
== Time expressions ==
 
To specify the time when the action will happen, you can add time expressions before or after the sentence. Here are some time expressions in Cebuano:
 
- Ugma - Tomorrow
- Sunod nga semana - Next week
- Buwag sa adlaw - In days
- Sa Domingo - On Sunday
- Human sa tulo ka adlaw - After three days
- Karon - Now
 
For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Cebuano !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Mag-inom ko ug kape. || maɡ-inom ko ug kape || I will drink coffee.
| Mag-miaging adlaw magtuon ko || mag-mi-'a-ging 'ad-law mag-tuon ko || I will study tomorrow
|-
|-
| Mag-antos ko sa imong mga kauban. || maɡ-antos ko sa imoŋ mɡa kaʋban || I will invite your friends.
| Maglibog ko sunod nga semana || mag-li-'bog ko su-'nod nga se-'ma-na || I will think next week
|-
|-
| Mag-adto ko sa simbahan. || maɡ-adto ko sa simbaʜan || I will go to church.
| Musulti siya sa iya amahan human sa tulo ka adlaw || mu-'sul-ti si'ya sa i'ya a-'ma-han hu-'man sa 'tu-lo ka 'ad-law || He will talk to his father after three days
|}
|}


It's important to note that the future tense can also be used to express probability or likelihood. For example, if you want to say "I might go to the store", you would say "Mag-uya ko sa tindahan".
== Dialogues ==


The future tense can also be used to express intention. For example, if you want to say "I intend to go to the store", you would say "Mag-uya ko sa tindahan".
Here are some dialogues to help you understand how Future Tense works:


Finally, the future tense can also be used to express a wish or desire. For example, if you want to say "I wish I could go to the store", you would say "Gusto ko mag-uya sa tindahan".  
* Person 1: Unsa may imong buhaton ugma? (What will you do tomorrow?)
* Person 2: Magtuon ko ug Binisaya. (I will study Cebuano.)


Now that you know how to form sentences in the future tense, let's look at some examples of how to use it in conversation.  
* Person 1: Aduna kay plano karon? (Do you have plans now?)
* Person 2: Maglibog ko unsay akong buhaton karong gabii. (I will think about what I will do tonight.)


If someone asks you "Where are you going?", you could reply "Mag-uya ko sa tindahan" (I'm going to the store).
* Person 1: Unsay imong huna-huna sa sunod nga semana? (What are you thinking for next week?)
* Person 2: Maglakaw ko sa bukid. (I will hike in the mountains.)


If someone asks you "What are you going to do tomorrow?", you could reply "Mag-abot ko sa imong balay" (I'm coming to your house).
== Cultural tips ==


If someone asks you "What are you going to drink?", you could reply "Mag-inom ko ug kape" (I'm going to drink coffee).  
- Cebuanos are fond of planning ahead of time. It is common for them to set goals and make plans for the future.
- When talking about future events, it is polite to use the future tense instead of the present tense. It shows that you respect the time of the person you are talking to.


If someone asks you "Who are you going to invite?", you could reply "Mag-antos ko sa imong mga kauban" (I'm going to invite your friends).
== Practice ==


If someone asks you "Where are you going to go?", you could reply "Mag-adto ko sa simbahan" (I'm going to go to church).
