Movi Creole 07B: Future Tense (Practice)

Front 1

For the future tense ("I will"), there are two tense indicators:

Back 1

pral & va

Front 2

To form the negative future tense ("I won't"), we simply use our all-purpose negative word “pa” with “pral” (or “va”).

Pa + pral (or va) is always contracted to...

pap

ex:

Mwen pral ale = I will go
Mwen pap ale = I won’t go
