Japanese Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Japanese learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Japanese. We will look at how to form sentences in the future tense, as well as some common expressions and examples.

The future tense in Japanese is used to express an action that will take place in the future. It is formed by adding the particle 「なる」 (naru) to the verb stem. For example, the verb 「行く」 (iku) means "to go". To form the future tense of this verb, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the verb stem 「行」 (i): 「行なる」 (inaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with nouns and adjectives. For example, the noun 「家」 (ie) means "house". To form the future tense of this noun, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the noun stem 「家」 (ie): 「家なる」 (ienaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with adjectives. For example, the adjective 「静か」 (shizuka) means "quiet". To form the future tense of this adjective, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the adjective stem 「静か」 (shizuka): 「静かなる」 (shizukanaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with adverbs. For example, the adverb 「早く」 (hayaku) means "quickly". To form the future tense of this adverb, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the adverb stem 「早く」 (hayaku): 「早くなる」 (hayakunaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with conjunctions. For example, the conjunction 「そして」 (soshite) means "and". To form the future tense of this conjunction, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the conjunction stem 「そして」 (soshite): 「そしてなる」 (soshitenaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with interjections. For example, the interjection 「よう」 (you) means "let's". To form the future tense of this interjection, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the interjection stem 「よう」 (you): 「ようなる」 (younaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with pronouns. For example, the pronoun 「あなた」 (anata) means "you". To form the future tense of this pronoun, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the pronoun stem 「あなた」 (anata): 「あなたなる」 (anatanaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with particles. For example, the particle 「は」 (wa) means "is". To form the future tense of this particle, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the particle stem 「は」 (wa): 「はなる」 (wanaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with auxiliary verbs. For example, the auxiliary verb 「いる」 (iru) means "to be". To form the future tense of this auxiliary verb, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the auxiliary verb stem 「いる」 (iru): 「いるなる」 (irunaru).

The particle 「なる」 (naru) can also be used with other verbs. For example, the verb 「食べる」 (taberu) means "to eat". To form the future tense of this verb, we add 「なる」 (naru) to the verb stem 「食べ」 (tabe): 「食べなる」 (tabenaru).

Here are some examples of sentences in the future tense:

Japanese	Pronunciation	English Translation
明日行なる	Ashita inaru	I will go tomorrow
家なる	Ienaru	I will have a house
静かなる	Shizukanaru	It will be quiet
早くなる	Hayakunaru	It will be quick
そしてなる	Soshitenaru	And then
ようなる	Younaru	Let's
あなたなる	Anatanaru	You will
はなる	Wanaru	Is
いるなる	Irunaru	Will be
食べなる	Tabenaru	I will eat

In conclusion, the future tense in Japanese is formed by adding the particle 「なる」 (naru) to the verb stem. This particle can also be used with nouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, interjections, pronouns, particles, auxiliary verbs, and other verbs.
