Future tense of the verb byť
Here is the conjugation of the verb to be! You need to remember this, as it is very important in creating the future tense of imperfective verbs!
| Person | Verb | |
|---|---|---|
| Singular | 1. I (ja) | budem |
| 2. you (ty) | budeš | |
| 3. he, she, it (on, ona, ono) | bude | |
| Plural | 1. we (my) | budeme |
| 2. you (vy) | budete | |
| 3. they (oni, ony) | budú |
Note that if you want to make a negation, remember to add the prefix ne- in front of the verbs. (ne-budem)
Future tense of imperfective verbs
To create the future tense of imperfective verbs you need to conjugate the verb "byť" in future tense and add the infinitive of the verb. For example:
future tense of byť + infinitive of the main verb
- Budem jesť. = I will be eating.
- Budete pískať. = You will be whistling. (plural)
- Budeš variť. = You will be cooking. (singular)
Remember when to use the form: the actions will not be completed, or we simply do not know whether they will be completed.
Future tense of perfective verbs
The Perfective verbs are have the same form in present and future. Therefore, you do not need to change anything. Let's see some examples:
present tense of perfective verbs = future tense of perfective verbs
- Dojem. = I will finish my meal.
- Zapískate. = You will whistle.
- Navaríš. = You will cook.
Remember when to use the form: all of the actions will be completed.
Future tense of the verb ísť (to go)
Be careful on the verb ísť (to go) as it is imperfective, but in the future tense it is conjugated in perfective form:
| Person | Verb | |
|---|---|---|
| Singular | 1. I (ja) | pôjdem |
| 2. you (ty) | pôjdeš | |
| 3. he, she, it (on, ona, ono) | pôjde | |
| Plural | 1. we (my) | pôjdeme |
| 2. you (vy) | pôjdete | |
| 3. they (oni, ony) | pôjdu |

I´ve more than four-year experience in teaching. I enjoy teaching, working with people and speaking in English.
We can focus on whatever you wish to practise and I can take you through a structured course and I will supply you with all of the required materials. Lessons dependent on the student's needs - grammar, speaking, writing, reading or listening. I can help you with all aspects of Slovak.
In our first lesson we'll get to know each other and I'll make an assessment of your needs. After that I'll create a plan for us to follow together.
I enjoy teaching in a fun, friendly and casual manner. Whether you are an advanced student or a beginner let me help you improve. Let’s connect in a trial lesson so I can learn more about your goals. See you soon! :-)

Imperativ is difficult because there are some irregular verbs which Libi included in the exercise for practice

Hi! I’m Yasmina, a professional German, English, Russian and Slovak teacher for adults and teenagers. I am fluent in 4 foreign languages and I have sucessfuly passed C2 level exams for English and German. I have a Masters degree in foreign languages and cultures from Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. During my studies I have done a couple of exchanges abroad (Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Qatar, Iceland, etc).
I have lived in 4 countries, therefore I know how challenging it may be - to learn and SPEAK foreign language afterwards. I’ve been teaching and learning languages for more than 8 years (3 years of teaching experience). I am absolutely sure, that your learning process starts, when you begin to speak. Therefore my lessons are mainly conversational, but you would need to do your homework at home :)
As a result, we can use your new knowledge during the lesson. Language learning is fun and a lot of hard work at the same time. But if you know what to do, than the process becomes much easier and enjoyable.
Here is the key information on the lessons/courses:
1. Lessons are tailored to your needs
2. All materials are provided
3. Before we start, during the trial lesson, I will test you level and we will develop a plan in order to reach your goal as soon as possible.
Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask me!
All the best,
Yasmina

Yasmina organizes the lessons in a varied, easy-to-understand and competent manner, is always punctual and attentive. She also incorporates information about the country (recipes, music, ...) and always thinks of something new - I like it when the learning is playful. Yasmina gladly and patiently answers questions, even those that concern the mentality or dealing with Slovaks (especially Slovakian mother-in-law ...). Clear recommendation!

Thank you very much LG your student Daniel

I have been an online teacher since 2012 in economics, logistics, and international trade. In 2020 I started teaching Portuguese and Spanish as well. I have also been doing translations of these languages since 2003, and in 2013 I started doing proofreading too.
I love sharing my language and my culture.
I have lived in several countries (Chile, Mexico, Malta, Angola, Bulgaria, and Spain) so I also love to share with people from other cultures.
I have an ELE course and a SIELE trainer.
I am currently doing the International Master for Teachers of Spanish Language and Culture.
I am Portuguese and Chilean (naturalized).
