Future Tense in Arabic

it is so easy to convert the sentence into Future Tense (simple Future)

In Arabic we have only three tenses: Past - Present - Future. (Perfect and progressive cases are not found in Arabic)

We form Future from the present tense المضارع

You can form the Future tense by adding the letter س to the beginning of present tense verb. س should be attached to the verb.

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 to use the article سوف. It should be noted that the article سوف shall be separated and NOT attached to the verb and should come before the verb directly.

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.

For example

I will study my lessons

أنا سأذاكر دروسي

That means I will study my lessons after a short time after talking.

أنا سوف أذاكر دروسي

That means I will study my lessons but not now, may be tomorrow or any other time.
