German Grammar; Future Tense

Future Tenses Like other tenses in English, the future tense has more than one form: habitual   I will go to school. incomplete or progressive  I will be going to school. Both forms are translated into German by a single future-tense conjugation, which consists of the present-tense conjugation of werden and an infinitive located at the end of the sentence.  For example: Ich werde zur Schule gehen.  I’ll go to school. Er wird seinen Onkel besuchen.  He’ll visit his uncle. Die Männer werden Karten spielen.  The men will play cards. Another way to express the future tense in German is by a present-tense conjugation where the future tense is inferred or understood by the context or because of an adverb accompanying the verb. For example: Was macht ihr morgen? Wir fahren  What are you doing tomorrow?  in die Stadt.  We’re driving to the city. Fährt euer Vater auch mit?  Will your father be going along? Ich habe nächste Woche eine Prüfung....
