Japanese Study Course Lesson10

Lady JJ

Hello everyone. I'm JJ. Nice to meet you! Welcome to Japanese Study Course. In lesson 10, we will study the future tense expressions in Japanese. For example, if you want to say, "The Dodgers will win today's baseball game." in Japanese, you would politely say "今日の野球の試合はドジャースが勝つでしょう。".

10-1 Speculation of the future

Future Tense Expressions ➡ " Verb（ basic form ）＋だろう / でしょう "

（１）Affirmative form

• The Angels will win today's baseball game.
• Ordinary：今日の野球の試合はエンゼルスが勝つだろう。
• Politely：今日の野球の試合はエンゼルスが勝つでしょう。
• Replacing "だろう" with "でしょう" makes it more polite.
• This expression is used when talking about things in the future, guessing the result.

　◆Advanced Study　Compound auxiliary verb "だろう" & "でしょう"

　◆Advanced Study　Conjugation of the verb "勝つ"（Five-step）

The conjugation form of the verb "勝つ" takes the form of "ta, chi, tsu, te, to" like "勝たない,勝ちます,勝つ,勝てば,勝とう", so it is called the five-step conjugation of verbs.

（２）Negative form

• Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the baseball game tomorrow.
• Ordinary：大谷翔平は明日の野球の試合で投げないだろう。
• Politely：大谷翔平は明日の野球の試合で投げないでしょう。
• When speculating about a negative outcome, add "だろう" or "でしょう" to the negative form of the verb.

　◆Advanced Study　Objective particle "で"　➀：place

• "で" is the objective particle indicating where the action takes place.
• It is used in the form of "where the action takes place + で".
• For example, I eat lunch at the cafeteria every day.　私は毎日食堂で昼食を食べる。
• Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the baseball game tomorrow.　大谷翔平は明日の野球の試合で投げないだろう。

　◆Advanced Study　Conjugation of the verb "投げる"（Lower one-step）

The conjugation of the auxiliary verb "投げる" is called the lower one-step conjugation of the auxiliary verb because they all include the "e" sound, such as "投げない,投げます,投げる,投げれば,なげろ（投げよう）".

(3) Interrogative form (Question)

• Will the Angels win today's baseball game?
• Ordinary：今日の野球の試合はエンゼルスが勝つだろうか。
• Politely：今日の野球の試合はエンゼルスが勝つでしょうか。
• Interrogative sentences in the future speculation form are expressed by adding the particle "か" to the affirmative sentence.

10-2 Future tense same as present tense

• If you know the result or action plan to some extent, even if you are talking about the future, you express it in the same form as the present tense.
• If you want to say, "I will go fishing with my family tomorrow." in Japanese, you would say "私は明日家族で魚釣りに出かけます。".

The future tense in Japanese is almost always the same as the present tense, so it's easy!
