Future & Plans: V + (으)ㄹ 거예요

Explanation

-(으)ㄹ 거예요 is the most common way to talk about future plans. With 'I' as the subject it states your plan; with other subjects it often expresses a guess, like 'will probably'. Use -을 거예요 after a stem ending in a consonant and -ㄹ 거예요 after a vowel; if the stem already ends in ㄹ, just add 거예요.

How to form it

• Stem ending in a vowel + ㄹ 거예요

  가다 → 가 + ㄹ 거예요 → 갈 거예요

• Stem ending in a consonant + 을 거예요

  먹다 → 먹 + 을 거예요 → 먹을 거예요

• Stem ending in ㄹ + 거예요

  만들다 → 만들 거예요
