Present vs. Future Exercises For Indonesian Grammar

Online tutoring for grammar and language skills 

In Indonesian grammar, the concept of Present and Future is somewhat more fluid than in English. Present tense is usually indicated by the inclusion of adverbial phrases of time, while future tense is often conveyed through modal auxiliaries that indicate intention or probability. Practicing with both can provide a deeper understanding and mastery of overall Indonesian grammar and proficiency.
