Θα plus a perfective dependent form presents a future event as a whole.

How It Works

Θα plus a perfective dependent form presents a future event as a whole.

The particle stays unchanged while the verb carries person and number. Irregular stems such as δω, πω and πάω must be learned; future meaning does not come from a universal suffix.
