Lesson 17

You learned the basic future tense in Lesson 9.

The chart below will remind you how to conjugate होना in the future (according to the number and gender of the subject):

Masculine Singular	Feminine Singular	Masculine Plural	Feminine Plural
मैं हूँगा	मैं हूँगी	हम होंगे	हम होंगी
तू होगा	तू होगी	तुम होगे	तुम होगी
		आप होंगे	आप होंगी
वह होगा	वह होगी	वे होंगे	वे होंगी
यह होगा	यह होगी	ये होंगे	ये होंगी

You can change most present tense constructions into future constructions by replacing the present auxiliary verb ( हूँ, हो, है, हैं ) with the appropriate future form ( हूँगा, होगा, होगी, होंगे, etc.)

For example:

Simple present	वह यहाँ है ।	She is here.
Simple future	वह यहाँ होगी ।	She will be here.

Present Progressive	वह आ रहा है ।	He is coming.
Future Progressive	वह आ रहा होगा ।	He will be coming.

Present Perfect	तुम आई हो ।	You have come.
Future Perfect	तुम आई होगी ।	You will have come.

Present	उसको जाना है ।	She has to go.
Future	उसको जाना होगा ।	She will have to go.

Present	हमारे पास पैसे हैं ।	We have money.
Future	हमारे पास पैसे होंगे ।	We will have money.

Present	क्या आपको किताब चाहिये ?	Do you need the book?
Future	क्या आपको किताब चाहिये होगी ?	Will you need the book?

Note in the last example there is no है in the present tense version, but you can still make it future tense by adding होगा (or in this case होगी to agree with किताब ).
