Questions & Answers about Hún fer á litla ráðstefnu í háskólanum í dag.
The verb is að fara (to go, to leave). It is irregular in the present tense:
- ég fer – I go
- þú ferð – you (sg.) go
- hann / hún / það fer – he / she / it goes
- við förum – we go
- þið farið – you (pl.) go
- þeir / þær / þau fara – they go
So fer is the 3rd person singular present tense form, matching Hún (she).
In this sentence, the Icelandic present tense fer is used with the time expression í dag (today), and that naturally gives a near‑future meaning in English: she is going / she will go today. Icelandic does not need a separate future tense here; the simple present with a time word is enough.
