ABSTRACT
In English, the future tense is marked by “will” or the “be going to” pattern, as in “I will go to Seoul,” or “He is going to study Korean.” In Korean, many forms involving ~(으)ㄹ “future/prospective modifier” and 겠 “will/conjecture” are used to talk about the future. Among these forms, the most common way to express a future event is to use the probable future marker ~(으)ㄹ 거.
