About the Future Tense
• Like the imperfect, the future tense is built from
the present stem.
• There are two differing methods for creating the
future tense, depending on conjugation.
• Verbs of the first and second conjugations use the
following endings:
Singular
Plural
First Person
-bō
-bimus
Second Person
-bis
-bitis
Third Person
-bit
-bunt

helping verb “will” or progressively with the helping
verbs “will be”.
• It can also be translated with the verbal phrase
“going to” or the adverbial phrase “about to”.
