Questions & Answers about Я заберу твой зонт после работы и отдам его тебе вечером.

Why are заберу and отдам used here instead of something like буду забирать and буду отдавать?

Because this sentence describes two single completed actions in the future:

• заберу = I will pick up / take
• отдам = I will give back / hand over

These are perfective verbs, so Russian uses the simple future for them.

By contrast:

• буду забирать
• буду отдавать

would be imperfective future, which usually suggests a process, repetition, or focus on the action itself rather than its completion. In this sentence, the speaker means: first I’ll take the umbrella, then later I’ll return it. That is why perfective is the natural choice.

Why do заберу and отдам look like present-tense forms even though they mean the future?

That is how the future of perfective verbs works in Russian.

Perfective verbs do not form the future with буду + infinitive. Instead, they use one-word future forms that look like present-tense endings:

• я заберу
• я отдам

These forms are grammatically future, not present.

Very roughly:

• imperfective future: буду делать = I will be doing / I will do
• perfective future: сделаю = I will do / I will finish doing

So заберу and отдам are normal future forms of perfective verbs.
