Past and future architecture

Distinguish imperfective compound future from perfective simple future.

Imperfective future uses a future form of быть plus the infinitive. A perfective non-past personal form normally refers to a future bounded event.

  • буду читать = I will be reading / will read as activity.
  • прочитаю = I will read through / complete a bounded reading.
  • The same person slot remains visible in both structures.
