How to use auxiliary verbs in the future tense
Do you remember all of the German modal verbs / auxiliaries?….
Hmmm…. sollen (to be supposed to/should), müssen (have to/must), können (can/be able to), dürfen (be allowed to), wollen (want), mögen (like).
In the present tense, the conjugated auxilary verb comes second as usual. e.g. Ich muss nach Hause fahren. I have to go home.
In the future tense, the auxiliary verb is at the end of the sentence. Why? You need the German verb “werden” to form the future tense and that’s the verb you conjugate. Every other verb that is being used has to be in the infinitive now. And infinitives never come second.
The rule is: “werden” + 2 x infinitive
e.g.
Ich werde nach Hause fahren müssen. I will have to go home.
Du wirst ins Kino gehen dürfen. You will be allowed to go to the movies.
