Hindi Verbs 4 (The Future Tense)

HINDI VERBS 4 (The Future Tense)

The future tense of Hindi verbs is pretty easy to make. There is a simple rule that helps to conjugate Hindi future tense and there are only three exceptions: होना, देना, लेना (honaa – to be; denaa – to give; lenaa – to take). You can see their conjugation below.

HOW TO CONJUGATE THE REGULAR VERBS TO GET A FUTURE TENSE:

When you conjugate a Hindi verb into any other tense, first remember its dictionary (or infinitive) form such as: जाना (jaanaa – to go). Now drop the ending –न (-naa) and you will get जा- (jaa-). To say “I will go” you will have to add a future tense ending for “I” –ऊँगा (-oongaa) and you’ll get जाऊँगा (jaaoongaa – I will go). The same applies for feminine gender, except that the ending should be –ई (-ee).

Pronoun	Masc.	Fem.
मैं main I	-ऊँगा -oongaa	-ऊँगी -oongee
All other singulars	-एगा -egaa	-एगी -egee
तुम tum you	-ओगे -oge	-ओगी -ogee
All plurals	-एँगे -enge	-एँगी -engee
