German A2Chapter 11 of 26

Future with werden

Talk about plans, predictions, and what you will do next.

German often uses the present tense for future plans, especially when a time word is clear: Morgen fahre ich nach Berlin. This chapter teaches when that is enough and when werden + infinitive is useful for predictions, promises, and more formal future statements. You will practise study, career, travel, and appointment plans in A2-style sentences.
