Question 0

Future time: present tense

Answer 0

German uses the future tense less frequently than English. German generally uses the present tense if the context clearly indicates future time.

Question 1

The future tense

Answer 1

The German future tense consists of the auxiliary werden plus an infinitive in final position. In a dependent clause, the auxiliary werden is in the final position because it is the finite verb.

Question 2

Uses of the future tense

Answer 2

1. Intention
2. Future tense
3. Assumption

Future tense is used to express intention or future time if the context doesn’t make it clear that the events will take place in the future. The future tense may also be used to express an assumption (present probability) when it is used with adverbs like sicher, wohl, and schon.
