Tenses and moods

das Futur I

In English: future tense

Built with werden plus the infinitive at the end. German uses it less than English uses „will“: for plans with a time expression, the Präsens is enough. The Futur I is used for predictions, promises and assumptions about the present.

Example: Es wird morgen schneien. (It will snow tomorrow.)
