Questions & Answers about Завтра я воспользуюсь скидкой и куплю телефон.
What does воспользуюсь mean and what is its infinitive form?
Воспользуюсь is the first-person singular future form of the perfective verb воспользоваться, meaning “to make use of” or “to take advantage of.”
How does воспользоваться differ from пользоваться?
Пользоваться is imperfective, indicating habitual or ongoing use (“to be using”). Воспользоваться is perfective, focusing on a single completed action of taking advantage of something.
Why is скидкой in the instrumental case?
The verb воспользоваться requires its object in the instrumental case to express “using” or “making use of” something. Hence скидкой (“with the discount”).
Why is there no preposition before скидкой?
Certain verbs in Russian, including воспользоваться, directly govern the instrumental case without any preposition.
Why are both воспользуюсь and куплю perfective and in the future tense?
