The future progressive indicative tense describes an ongoing occurrence (→ progressive aspect) in the future, which is based on the known state of affairs (→ indicative mood). Persian distinguishes between past and non-past tenses. The present and future are expressed with the same conjugational forms. Regarding future progressive, it is expressed using the same grammatical form as present progressive. Therefore, a verbal form like دارم می‌روم (dâram miravam) can mean “I am going” and “I will be going” depending on the context.

Examples

هفته‌ی دیگر این موقع، دارم در دریا شنا می‌کنم
Hafte-ye digar in mowǧeø, dâram dar daryâ šenâ mikonam
This time next week, I will be swimming in the sea
فردا داریم به تهران می‌رویم
Fardâ dârim be Tehrân miravim
We will be going to Tehran tomorrow
فردا این ساعت، داریم مسابقه را تماشا می‌کنیم
Fardâ in sâat, dârim mosâbeǧe râ tamâšâ mikonim
This hour tomorrow, we will be watching the match
او هم دارد به مهمانی می‌آید
U ham dârad de mehmâni miâyad
He will be coming to the party too

Negative form

Since the progressive aspect is only used for affirmative actions, it does not have negative form.
