Language/Danish/Grammar/Future-Tense
Hi Danish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Danish. We will look at how to form the future tense, when to use it and some examples of how it is used in everyday conversations.
The future tense in Danish is formed by adding the suffix -er to the infinitive form of the verb. For example, the verb "at gå" (to go) becomes "at går" in the future tense. The verb "at se" (to see) becomes "at ser" in the future tense.
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will take place in the future. It can also be used to express probability or likelihood. For example:
- Jeg tror, at jeg går til festen i aften. (I think I will go to the party tonight.)
- Vi ser hinanden i morgen. (We will see each other tomorrow.)
- Det regner nok i morgen. (It will probably rain tomorrow.)
The future tense can also be used to make polite requests. For example:
- Kan du hjælpe mig? (Can you help me?)
- Vil du gøre det? (Will you do it?)
