Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Historical Development: Of the Forms of the Future Tense, in Middle High German
Grimm, Deutsche Grammatik IV, 176 seq. Discusses the forms of the future. According to him, German has no special form for this tense, and therefore either leaves it unexpressed, that is, uses another tense for it, or periphrases it. In the oldest period the present tense was employed, a usage which according to Grimm continues through Middle High German into New High German. The present tense is also the regular form in Gothic.
