As an exercise let's see how we can construct some simple sentences in Future Tense.

Example: dinlemek (to listen) - Ben dinleyeceğim, sen dinleyeceksin, o dinleyecek, biz dinleyeceğiz, siz dinleyeceksiniz, onlar dinleyecekler
I will listen, You will listen, He/she/it will listen, We will listen, You will listen, They will listen

gelmek (to come)

gülmek (to laugh)

yemek (to eat)

These are the solutions to the questions in the writing mini lesson. Click on the link at the bottom and listen. How close were you?

gelmek (to come)  Ben geleceğim, sen geleceksin, o gelecek, biz geleceğiz, siz geleceksiniz, onlar gelecekler
I will come, You will come, He/she/it will come, We will come, You will come, They will come

gülmek (to laugh)  Ben güleceğim, sen güleceksin, o gülecek, biz güleceğiiz, siz güleceksiniz, onlar gülecekler
I will laugh, You will laugh, He/she/it will laugh, We will laugh, You will laugh, They will laugh

Turkish grammar has few exceptions and we will see one of them below. Because the root of "yemek" is "ye" we have to add a "y", but practically there is no turkish word which contains the syllable "yey" so the "e" is substituted with "i":

yemek (to eat)  Ben yiyeceğim, Sen yiyeceksin, o yiyecek, biz yiyeceğiz, siz yiyeceksiniz, onlar yiyecekler
I will eat, You will eat, He/she/it will eat, We will eat, You will eat, They will eat
