How to Describe the Future Intention or Plan

from Japanese Grammar Tips · host Yuya Sato

You need to use verbs in the present forms followed by the word つもり to describe your future intention or plan. <Example Sentences> きょう マクドナルド に いく つもり です。 I am planning to go to MacDonald's today. * いく is a verb in plain forms, which means "go". つもり follows a verb in plain forms, いく. * You cannot use polite forms with つもり. Thus, きょう マクドナルド に いきます つもり です。is grammatically incorrect. きょう としょかん で にほんご の べんきょう を する つもり です。 I am planning to study Japanese at the library today. きょう は おさけ を のまない つもり です。 I am not planning to drink alcohol today. *のまない is a negative plain form of のむ, which means "drink" References: Introduction to Plain Forms https://anchor.fm/yuya-sato/episodes/Introduction-to-Plain-Forms-enp0g3 Actual Conversations Using Plain Forms https://anchor.fm/yuya-sato/episodes/Actual-Conversations-Using-Plain-Forms-enqrpc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yuyaman1986
