A/V(으)ㄹ 거예요 ②

Supposition

Explanation

-()ㄹ 거예요 expresses the speaker's supposition based on a personal experience or something seen or heard that provides a basis for the belief.

It corresponds to 'think' or 'will' in English.

When the verb or adjective stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, -ㄹ 거예요 is used, and when the stem ends in a consonant, - 거예요 is used.

In the case of past tense supposition, -/ is added in front of -()ㄹ 거예요 to form -/었을 거예요.
