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 |

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
M. W.
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!

I have been teaching English for 15 years and have taught more than 20,000 online students in China alone. I am an experienced English Language tutor with a Diploma (TESOL certified), able to teach and mentor (one-to-one) in all aspects of all age groups and levels. Before that, I taught at various schools in several countries in the 1990s and 2000s, so you can feel totally assured that I'm a tutor who knows how to plan and progress suitable lessons with care and professionalism and never let people down! I will build your confidence and be patient with you so however long it takes. I have vast experience of one-to-one teaching to foreign students of all nationalities. Furthermore, I have gained many years of teaching styles and techniques in schools in China, Korea, Japan, and Germany which I greatly enjoyed these different locations and cultures. My teaching has also encompassed Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), task-based language learning (TBL) approach to CLT, Dogme Language Teaching, and Blended Teaching: the virtual learning environment (VLE).
After teaching in so many countries, I found teaching online is the best way. The only important thing is that your choice of words and pronunciation should be correct. Then the most effective part to make your English impressive is that the grammar you use must not be ordinary. I teach my students according to their level, needs, and interest.
Be sure to book me as soon as possible for an unforgettable experience learning your new Language. I can't wait to meet you!!

I'm looking forward to start working with you and teach you to speak Russian from beginner to fluent speaker. I'll help you to understand the logic of my own language (yes, there is a logic in it:) and will make your studying very interesting!

So I teach students from zero level who further study in Russian at the university and high management of top companies and embassies to know Russian for living in here.
