### The Standard Future Tense

Romanian has a few ways to talk about the future, but the most common formal and standard method uses a structure very similar to English. You simply pair a future auxiliary verb (meaning "will") with the infinitive form of the main verb.

When using the infinitive here, you must drop the particle **a** that usually appears before it. For example, **a studia** (to study) becomes just **studia**.

Here are the future tense auxiliary verbs for each pronoun:

| Pronoun | Auxiliary (Will) |
| --- | --- |
| Eu | voi |
| Tu | vei |
| El / Ea | va |
| Noi | vom |
| Voi | veți |
| Ei / Ele | vor |

### Singular Subjects: Voi, Vei, and Va

To say "I will study", combine **voi** with **studia** to make **voi studia**. This structure is frequently used when discussing long-term plans, such as academic degrees or career paths. 

If the verb is reflexive, the reflexive pronoun (such as **se** or **mă**) is placed *before* the auxiliary verb.

### Plural Subjects: Vom, Veți, and Vor

The pattern remains exactly the same for plural subjects. Let's look at some examples discussing higher education goals, like a master's degree (**masteratul**) or a doctorate (**doctoratul**).

### Future Tense with Conditions

You will frequently use the future tense alongside conditions or commands. For example, you can use the future tense in both halves of a sentence to state that someone will pass an exam if they complete their research.
