Future Simple

Simple future is used for things that will happen once or do not take place over an extended period of time.

I will write a letter next week.
She will buy milk at the store.
They will see you tomorrow.

For simple future, we’ll still use the “helping word” θα, but we’ll change the root of the verb. Let’s look at a regular verb like ακούω, meaning I hear.

• Take the present tense ακούω
• Drop the ω, giving ακού-
• Add σ, giving ακούσ-
• Add the normal endings.

And here’s the result:

ακούω Singular Plural εγώ θα ακούσω εμείς θα ακούσουμε εσύ θα ακούσεις εσείς θα ακούσετε αυτός αυτή αυτό θα ακούσει αυτοί αυτές αυτά θα ακούσουν

FYI: The Greek for future simple is
μέλλοντας στιγμιαίος.
