The future: бу́ду + the verb
Three posters for the week. Read the titles, then the days and the times: that is all you need to make a plan.

| я | бу́ду |
| ты | бу́дешь |
| он, она́ | бу́дет |
| мы | бу́дем |
| вы | бу́дете |
| они́ | бу́дут |
Add any verb in its dictionary form: Я бу́ду смотре́ть фильм. Ве́чером мы бу́дем у́жинать в кафе́.
When
The future is built like a sum: the person, the helper бу́ду in the right form, and the verb as you find it in the dictionary.
