== Overview == | |||
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. | |||
Example: | |||
* Jeg skal spise middag. (I will eat dinner.) | |||
* Han vil reise til Norge. (He will travel to Norway.) | |||
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. | |||
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.) | |||
== Formation of future tense == | |||
=== Using 'skal' === | |||
The auxiliary verb 'skal' is used to express a certain or planned future action. It is conjugated as follows: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! | ! Person !! Skal (auxiliary verb) !! Infinitive verb !! Translation | ||
|- | |||
| Jeg || skal || spise || I will eat | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | | Du || skal || spise || You will eat | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | Han/Hun/Den/Det || skal || spise || He/She/It/That will eat | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | | Vi || skal || spise || We will eat | ||
|- | |- | ||
| De skal | | Dere || skal || spise || You (plural) will eat | ||
|- | |||
| De || skal || spise || They will eat | |||
|} | |} | ||
Example: | |||
* Jeg skal besøke min bestemor. (I will visit my grandmother.) | |||
== | === Using 'vil' === | ||
The | The auxiliary verb 'vil' is used to express a probable or possible future action. It is conjugated as follows: | ||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Person !! Vil (auxiliary verb) !! Infinitive verb !! Translation | |||
|- | |||
| 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 | |||
|} | |||
Example: | |||
* Han vil være en astronaut når han blir stor. (He will be an astronaut when he grows up.) | |||
== Negation of future tense == | |||
To form the negative future tense, we use 'ikke' after the auxiliary verb. | |||
Example: | |||
* Jeg skal ikke spise kjøtt. (I will not eat meat.) | |||
== | == Questions in the future tense == | ||
To form a question in the future tense, we switch the order of the auxiliary verb and subject. | |||
Example: | |||
* Skal du besøke familien din i helgen? (Will you visit your family this weekend?) | |||
== | == Usage of future tense == | ||
The future tense is used in various situations, including: | |||
* Describing plans or intended actions. | |||
Example: Jeg skal reise til Paris neste uke. (I will travel to Paris next week.) | |||
* Making predictions or expressing assumptions about future events. | |||
Example: Jeg tror han vil få jobben. (I think he will get the job.) | |||
* Expressing hypothetical situations or conditional statements. | |||
Example: Hvis jeg vinner i lotto, skal jeg kjøpe en ny bil. (If I win the lottery, I will buy a new car.) | |||
