The future tense is formed with the helping verb werden and the infinitive of the main verb.
| Wir werden bald abfahren. Wird er seine Kinder mitbringen? Ich werde an Sie schreiben. |
We will leave soon. Will he bring along his children? I will write to you. |

If it is clear from the context (for example, through an adverb or prepositional phrase) that the future is intended, German tends to use the present rather than the future tense.
| Wir kommen morgen an. Wir kommen in einer Stunde an. |
We will arrive tomorrow. We will arrive in an hour. |
