Introduction
The Polish future tense has two aspects, which is shown by verb pairs (i.e.robić/zrobić): perfective and imperfective.
Perfective implies an action that is not repeated, and is completed. Imperfective implies repeated, or interupted action.
Perfective
The perfective aspect is usually made with the imperfective form and a prefix, or sometimes an altered ending.
Some basic examples are (perfetive/imperfective) robić/zrobić (to do/make), powtarzać/powtórzyć (to repeat, reiterate), and próbować/spróbować (to try/attempt).
To form the perfective future tense, you conjugate the perfective pair the same as the imperfective present, found here: Language/Polish/Grammar/Present-Tense.
| 1st Sing (Ja) | 2nd Sing (Ty) | 3rd Sing (On, Ona, Ono, Pan, Pani) | 1st Plural (My) | 2nd Plural (Wy) | 3rd Plural (Oni, One, Panie, Panowie) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zrobić | Zrobię | Zrobisz | Zrobi | Zrobimy | Zrobicie | Zrobią |
| Powtórzyć | Powtórzę | Powtórzysz | Powtórzy | Powtórzymy | Powtórzycie | Powtórzą |
| Spróbować | Spróbuję | Spróbujesz | Spróbuje | Spróbujemy | Spróbujecie | Spróbują |
A rough translation of this could be Zrobię - I will do/make.
Imperfective
The imperfective aspect is created by conjugated być to the future tense, and adding the infinitive imperfective pair after.
You may also conjugate the infinitive verb to the past tense (and making it match to the subject).
| 1st Sing (ja) | 2nd Sing (Ty) | 3rd Sing (On, ona, ono, Pan, Pani) | 1st Plural (My) | 2nd Plural (Wy) | 3rd Plural (Oni, One, Panie, Panowie) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robić | Będę robić/robił(a) | Będziesz robić/robił(a) | Będzie robić/robił(a/o) | Będziemy robić/robili/robiły | Będziecie robić/robili/robiły | Będą robić/robili/robiły |
| Powtarzać | Będę powtarzać/powtarzał(a) | Będziesz powtarzać/powtarzał(a) | Będzie powtarzać/powtarzał(a/o) | Będziemy powtarzać/powtarzali/powtarzały | Będziecie powtarzać/powtarzali/powtarzały | Będą powtarzać/powtarzali/powtarzały |
| Próbować | Będę próbować/próbował(a) | Będziesz próbować/próbował(a) | Będzie próbować/próbował(a/o) | Będziemy próbować/próbowali/próbowały | Będziecie próbować/próbowali/próbowały | Będą próbować/próbowali/próbowały |
A rough translation of this could be I will be doing/making.
