<br />
==Rules==<br />
Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
In this lesson, you will learn how to use the Future Tense in Arabic.<br />
<br />
It's so easy to convert the sentence into Future Tense (simple Future).<br />
<br />
In Arabic we have only 3 tenses: Past - Present - Future. (Perfect and progressive cases are not found in Arabic)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We form Future from the present tense المضارع.<br />
<br />
You can form the Future tense by adding the letter س to the beginning of present tense verb. س should be attached to the verb. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Present tense: يدرس الطلاب (The students study) <br />
<br />
*Future Tense: سيدرس الطلاب (The students will study) <br />
<br />
<br />
There is another way for forming the future tense, which is similar to the above one, but the difference is you need to use the article سوف. <br />
<br />
It should be noted that the article سوف shall be separated and NOT attached to the verb and should come before the verb directly. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Present tense: يدرس الطلاب (The students study) <br />
<br />
*Future Tense: سوف يدرس الطلاب (The students will study)<br />
<br />
<br />
The main difference between both articles is that س is used to refer to the near future, while سوف refers to the far future.<br />
<br />
<br />
For example <br />
<br />
*I will study my lessons. أنا سأذاكر دروسي<br />
<br />
It means I will study my lessons after a short time after talking.<br />
<br />
<br />
*أنا سوف أذاكر دروسي <br />
<br />
It means I will study my lessons but not now, may be tomorrow or any other time.<br />
