Introduction

Though we haven't specifically talked about ~는 것 in the past few lessons, there are still a few more concepts that you should know that are related to it. In this lesson, you will learn how to use three nouns (예정, 계획 and 준비) as the noun in the future tense conjugation of 는 것 - (~ㄹ/을 것). By using these three nouns after this grammatical form, you will be able to say a wide variety of common sentences. Let's get started.

To be scheduled to... :~ㄹ/을 예정

You should remember the function of adding ~는 것to verb stems from previous lessons. Just to review briefly, adding ~는 것 to a verb stem turns the verb into a word that can describe an upcoming noun.

This can be done using ~ㄴ/은 것 to describe the noun in the past tense:

제가 먹은 것 = The thing I ate

Or using ~는 것 to describe the noun in the present tense:

제가 먹는 것 = The thing I eat

Or using ~ㄹ/을 것 to describe the noun in the future tense:

제가 먹을 것 = The thing I will eat

If you use the future descriptor ~ㄹ/을 and the word "예정" instead of 것, you get:

제가 할 예정, or

제가 먹을 예정

As you should know by now, "제가 할 예정" and "제가 먹을 예정" are not perfect sentences, as they do not have a conjugating verb or adjective at the end of them. In order to do this, we should add '이다' to 예정. For example:
