The 'Will Be' Hack

If you can translate your English sentence to 'I will be [verb]-ing', you almost always need the Russian imperfective future.

🎯

The No-Will Rule

If you are using a verb with a prefix like 'про-' or 'по-', delete the word 'буду' from your mind. The prefix already does the work of 'will'!

Review Summary

  • буду/будешь/будет + imperfective infinitive
  • perfective verb conjugated like present

Erros comuns

Never use 'буду' with a perfective verb. Perfective verbs already contain the future meaning.

Wrong: Я буду сделаю это.
Correto: Я сделаю это.

Use imperfective for durations. Perfective implies a completed point in time.

Wrong: Я прочитаю книгу весь день.
Correto: Я буду читать книгу весь день.

While sometimes used in casual speech, for learners, explicitly using the future tense is clearer.

Wrong: Завтра я читаю книгу.
Correto: Завтра я буду читать книгу.

Next Steps

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Choose the correct way to say 'I will be working':

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: Я буду работать.

Perguntas comuns (4)

It's just the technical name for using two words (быть + infinitive) to form the future tense. It's used for imperfective verbs.
No. 'Пойти' is perfective. With 'буду', you must use the imperfective 'идти' or 'ходить'.
It is a tense used for one-time actions or results in the future. You form it by conjugating a perfective verb using present-tense endings.
Perfective verbs already imply a completed future action when conjugated. Adding 'буду' is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
