Future Tense

Once you have a handle on which verbs are strong and which verbs are weak, putting verbs into the future tense shouldn’t be too hard.

Future Tense - Weak Verbs

For pronouns (other than அது/அவை), verb root + வ் + verb suffix


Examples

  • நீங்கள் ஓடுவீர்கள் = “You will run.”
  • அவன் தூங்குவான் = “He will sleep.”
  • அவர்கள் பேசுவார்களா? = “Will they speak?”
  • நாய் நாளைக்கு உட்காரும் = “The dog will sit tomorrow.”

Future Tense - Strong Verbs

For pronouns (other than அது/அவை), verb root + ப்ப் + verb suffix

Examples

  • நீ கொடுப்பாயா?= “Will you give?”
  • அவை குடிக்கும் = “They will drink.”
  • நீங்கள் எங்கு வசிப்பீர்கள்? = “Where will you live?”
  • நாங்கள் சமைப்போம் = “We will cook.”
