== Overview ==


== Introduction ==
The future tense is used when we want to talk about something that has not yet happened but will happen in the future. In Norwegian Bokmål, there are two ways to form the future tense: the auxiliary verb 'skal' and the auxiliary verb 'vil'. Both auxiliary verbs are followed by the infinitive form of the main verb.


In this lesson, we will dive into the future tense of Norwegian Bokmål verbs. The future tense is an essential part of mastering the language, as it allows us to talk about things that will happen in the future. We will explore the structure and usage of the future tense verbs, providing numerous examples to help you understand and practice this concept. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently express future actions and events in Norwegian Bokmål.
Example:
* Jeg skal spise middag. (I will eat dinner.)
* Han vil reise til Norge. (He will travel to Norway.)


== The Future Tense ==
It's important to note that the use of 'skal' or 'vil' in the future tense depends on the speaker's intention or prediction. 'Skal' is used for actions that will definitely happen, while 'vil' is used for actions that are likely to happen but not confirmed.


The future tense in Norwegian Bokmål is used to express actions or events that will happen in the future. It is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "skal" (shall/will) with the infinitive form of the main verb. The conjugation of "skal" remains the same regardless of the subject, while the main verb stays in its infinitive form.
Example:
* Jeg skal ta bussen til jobb. (I will take the bus to work.)
* Vi vil dra på ferie neste måned. (We will go on vacation next month.)


Here is the general structure of the future tense:
== Formation of future tense ==


"skal" + infinitive verb
=== Using 'skal' ===


Let's look at some examples:
The auxiliary verb 'skal' is used to express a certain or planned future action. It is conjugated as follows:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Norwegian Bokmål !! Pronunciation !! English
! Person !! Skal (auxiliary verb) !! Infinitive verb !! Translation
|-
| Jeg || skal || spise || I will eat
|-
|-
| Jeg skal reise til Norge. || Yay skahl rye-seh teel Nor-geh. || I will travel to Norway.
| Du || skal || spise || You will eat
|-
|-
| Vi skal spise middag sammen. || Vee skahl spee-seh meed-dahg sah-men. || We will have dinner together.
| Han/Hun/Den/Det || skal || spise || He/She/It/That will eat
|-
|-
| Hun skal lære norsk. || Hoon skahl leh-reh nor-sk. || She will learn Norwegian.
| Vi || skal || spise || We will eat
|-
|-
| De skal kjøpe en bil. || Deh skahl sherp-eh en beel. || They will buy a car.
| Dere || skal || spise || You (plural) will eat
|-
| De || skal || spise || They will eat
|}
|}


In these examples, you can see that "skal" remains the same for all subjects, while the infinitive verb indicates the action or event that will happen in the future.
Example:
* Jeg skal besøke min bestemor. (I will visit my grandmother.)


== Usage of the Future Tense ==
=== Using 'vil' ===


The future tense is used in various contexts in Norwegian Bokmål. Here are some common ways to use the future tense:
The auxiliary verb 'vil' is used to express a probable or possible future action. It is conjugated as follows:


1. Expressing future actions: The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
  - Jeg skal dra på ferie til Spania. (I will go on vacation to Spain.)
! Person !! Vil (auxiliary verb) !! Infinitive verb !! Translation
  - I morgen skal vi ha fest. (Tomorrow we will have a party.)
|-
| Jeg || vil || spise || I will eat
|-
| Du || vil || spise || You will eat
|-
| Han/Hun/Den/Det || vil || spise || He/She/It/That will eat
|-
| Vi || vil || spise || We will eat
|-
| Dere || vil || spise || You (plural) will eat
|-
| De || vil || spise || They will eat
|}


2. Making predictions: The future tense can also be used to make predictions or speculate about future events. For example:
Example:
  - Tror du det skal regne i morgen? (Do you think it will rain tomorrow?)
* Han vil være en astronaut når han blir stor. (He will be an astronaut when he grows up.)
  - Han skal nok klare eksamen. (He will probably pass the exam.)


3. Giving instructions or commands: In some cases, the future tense can be used to give instructions or commands. For example:
== Negation of future tense ==
  - Du skal ikke røre det. (You shall not touch it.)
  - Skal jeg hjelpe deg? (Shall I help you?)


4. Hypothetical situations: The future tense can be used to discuss hypothetical or imaginary situations. For example:
To form the negative future tense, we use 'ikke' after the auxiliary verb.
  - Hva skal du gjøre hvis du vinner i lotto? (What will you do if you win the lottery?)
  - Hvis jeg hadde penger, skulle jeg reise jorden rundt. (If I had money, I would travel around the world.)


Remember that the future tense is used to talk about the future, so it should not be used to describe actions or events that have already happened.
Example:
* Jeg skal ikke spise kjøtt. (I will not eat meat.)


== Regional Variations and Cultural Insights ==
== Questions in the future tense ==


While the future tense is used consistently throughout Norwegian Bokmål-speaking regions, there are some cultural variations in how future actions and events are expressed. For example, in some dialects, the auxiliary verb "skal" may be replaced with "vil" (will). This variation is more common in spoken language rather than formal writing.
To form a question in the future tense, we switch the order of the auxiliary verb and subject.


Additionally, it is worth mentioning that Norwegians are known for their punctuality and reliability. When making plans or discussing future events, it is important to be precise and stick to the agreed-upon time. Being late or canceling last minute may be seen as disrespectful or rude. Norwegians value their time and expect others to do the same.
Example:
* Skal du besøke familien din i helgen? (Will you visit your family this weekend?)
