The Future Tense

There are two ways of expressing the future tense in Russian: compound and simple.

Compound Future

The compound future tense uses the verb быть to be with a verb in its infinitive:

буду делать(I) will do будем делать(we) will do
будешь делать(you) will do будете делать(you) will do
будет делать(he/she/it) will do будут делать(they) will do

Быть is an irregular verb- its ending changes from -ы- to -уд-.

Simple Future

Simple future is just like the present tense, except it uses perfective verbs instead of imperfective. Simply conjugate a perfective verb according to present tense conjugation rules.

я сделалI did я делаюI am doing я сделаюI will do
