Questions & Answers about Sutra ću preuzeti datoteku i priložiti je e-mailu.
Why is ću used here, and how does the future tense work in this sentence?
Ću is the 1st person singular form of the auxiliary verb used to make the future tense in Croatian.
So:
- ja ću = I will
- sutra ću preuzeti = tomorrow I will download/take over
- (i) priložiti = (and) attach
A very common way to form the future in Croatian is:
- subject + future auxiliary + infinitive
For example:
- Ja ću doći. = I will come.
- Mi ćemo pisati. = We will write.
In your sentence, the subject ja is not stated because Croatian often leaves it out when it is clear from the verb form.
Why is there only one ću even though there are two verbs: preuzeti and priložiti?
