Questions & Answers about Sutra ću čistiti pod u hodniku, jer danas nemam vremena.

How is the future tense formed in Sutra ću čistiti?

This is Future I in Serbian.

It is usually formed with:

• a short form of hteti = ću, ćeš, će, ćemo, ćete, će
• plus the infinitive

So:

• ću čistiti = I will clean

Other examples:

• ću raditi = I will work
• ćeš doći = you will come
• će kupiti = he/she will buy

In this sentence, čistiti is the infinitive to clean.

Why is ću after sutra instead of directly before the verb?

Because ću is a clitic, and clitics in Serbian usually go in the second position in the clause.

So:

• Sutra ću čistiti... is natural
• the first element is Sutra
• the clitic ću comes right after it

You can also say:

• Ja ću sutra čistiti pod u hodniku.

But Sutra čistiću... is not the normal pattern here.

Why is there no ja in the sentence?

Because Serbian often when the meaning is already clear from the verb form.
