Future Indicative Tense in Armenian
The future tense is formed by adding the ending “ու” to the infinitive form of the verb. This future formation can best be translated by “going to” structure in English. But in many cases it can be translated by “will” modal verb. In the future tense the verb to be becomes:
1) Զբոսաշրջիկները լինելու են Ղափանում: The tourists are going to be in Kapan.
All other verbs, both with “ալ” and “ել” ending follow the same pattern. For example,
1) Տաս տարի հետո հայերն ունենալու են հարուստ պետություն: Armenians are going to have a rich state after ten years.
2) Վարորդն իր մեքենան նորոգելու է շաբաթ օրը։ The driver is going to fix his car on Saturday.
