In Serbian grammar, two forms of future tense can be distinguished – Future Perfect (Perfekat Buduฤnosti) and Future Continuous (Buduฤi kontinum). Future Perfect is used to describe actions that will have been completed at a certain point in the future. This tense is formed by the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb “biti” (to be), the past participle and the word “ฤe”. Future Continuous, on the other hand, is used to talk about ongoing, yet unfinished actions in the future. This tense is formed with the present tense of the verb “biti” (to be) and the present participle.
