Framtíðarmál

Framtíðarmál, also known as future tense, is a grammatical tense used to describe actions, events, or states that will occur at some point in the future. It is one of the three primary tenses in many languages, along with the present and past tenses. The future tense is used to express predictions, plans, intentions, or actions that have not yet occurred but are expected to happen.

In English, the future tense can be formed using various constructions. The most common is the "will" or "shall" auxiliary verb followed by the base form of the verb. For example, "I will go to the store tomorrow." Another common construction is the "going to" form, which is used to express a plan or intention. For example, "I am going to the store tomorrow." Additionally, the present continuous tense can also be used to express future events, especially when the time is specified. For example, "I am leaving for the store tomorrow."

In Icelandic, the future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "mun" followed by the infinitive form of the verb. For example, "Ég mun fara í verslunina á morgun." The future tense can also be formed using the verb "verða" followed by the infinitive form of the verb. For example, "Ég verð fara í verslunina á morgun."

The future tense is an essential grammatical tool for expressing future events and is used in various contexts, including literature, journalism, and everyday conversation. It allows speakers and writers to discuss plans, predictions, and intentions in a clear and concise manner.
