Questions & Answers about Завтра я буду сдавать курсовую на кафедре.
It is the compound future of an imperfective verb.
- буду = I will
- сдавать = imperfective infinitive to hand in / submit
Russian often forms the future of imperfective verbs with быть in the future + infinitive:
- я буду делать
- ты будешь делать
- он/она будет делать
So я буду сдавать means something like I will be submitting or I will submit.
This is mainly an aspect question.
- буду сдавать = imperfective future
- сдам = perfective future
The difference is about how the action is viewed:
- буду сдавать focuses more on the process / planned activity
- сдам focuses more on the completed result
So:
- Завтра я буду сдавать курсовую... = Tomorrow I’ll be handing in / submitting my term paper.
- Завтра я сдам курсовую... = Tomorrow I’ll hand in my term paper, and the result is emphasized.
In real life, both can be possible. The imperfective version can sound a little less result-focused and a little more like this is what I’m going to be doing tomorrow.
