Korean grammar - The future base with 겠 |
|||
|
|||
We have previously seen the past base conjugation that can be used in many verb ending patterns. -- For instance the past base 했 (from 하다 - 'to do') can be used with the end 지요 giving 했지요. So for example 공부했지요? (He studied, didn't he?) The future base form can be used in a similar manner. The future base is formed by added the future suffix 겠 to the Verb stem. -- So for example 하겠 is the future base form of 하다. And this can be used as follows: 공부하겠지요? - '(He) will study, won't he?' |
