Questions & Answers about Půjdu zpátky do práce.

What does půjdu mean, and what verb is it from?

Půjdu means I will go.

It comes from the verb jít = to go (usually in the sense of one specific trip, on foot, in one direction).

This form is 1st person singular future:

• půjdu = I will go
• půjdeš = you will go
• půjde = he/she/it will go

So in this sentence, půjdu is the main verb and already tells you:

• the subject: I
• the tense: future

Why is it půjdu and not budu jít?

That is a very common question.

Many Czech verbs make the future with budu + infinitive, for example:

• budu pracovat = I will work

But jít is irregular. Its future is not normally made with budu jít. Instead, Czech uses special future forms:

• půjdu = I will go
• půjdeš = you will go
• půjde = he/she will go

So budu jít would sound unnatural in normal Czech.
