Immediate future (กำลังจะ)

The Immediate Future (กำลังจะ)

To state that an action or event is "about to" happen, use the imminent future marker กำลังจะ. Place it immediately before the main verb.

"There Is About to Be" (กำลังจะมี)

When warning that an event—like a natural disaster—is about to occur, place กำลังจะ before มี (to have / there is).

Taking Urgent Action

In emergency situations, you will often talk about hiding (ซ่อน) or fleeing (หนี). Use กำลังจะ to describe what someone or something is about to do.

Compound Warnings

If several things are about to happen at once, you can use กำลังจะ for each event. The conjunctions และ (and) and ก็ (also) are often used to string these imminent events together in a single sentence.
