Course details

This course has been updated in November 2016.

Are you a German learner and not sure how to use the future tense in German?

Do you get the future tense mixed up with the past tense? Do you wish you had several ways to talk about future intentions?

Then this course is going to help you!

In this course we will only look at ways for talking about the future and we'll cover:

the present tense with time phrases
the 'proper' future tense
some modal verbs
verbs governing the infinitive
the conditional
and finally the future perfect.

If you are a beginner then this course isn't for you yet. This course assumes that you already have a sound knowledge of the present tense, so make sure you know how to conjugate verbs in the present tense before buying this course.

If you are an advanced student, you probably know everything in this course but it might be a welcome refresher.

If you are an intermediate student, then you might not have learned the future tense yet or you might have just started, in which case this course is perfect for you! 

It doesn't matter how quickly you complete the course - it isn't a race - the important bit is that you can use the future tense!

At the end of the course you will have some good understanding of the German future tense which will make life a lot easier when you want to be able to tell people in German about your future plans..
