Understanding German Future Tense (Futur I)
The future tense in German, known as Futur I, is used to talk about things that will happen in the future. It's like saying 'I will do something' in English. Even though German often uses the present tense to talk about the future, Futur I is important when you want to be clear about future plans or predictions.
How to Form the Future Tense
To form the future tense in German, you need two parts: the verb 'werden' and the main verb in its infinitive form. 'Werden' is like saying 'will' in English.

Use the correct form of 'werden' for the subject.
Keep the main verb in its infinitive form.
Place 'werden' in the second position in the sentence.
Put the main verb at the end of the sentence.

Ich werde morgen spielen.
Du wirst bald lernen.
