Summary\n: The paper focuses on the three Gothic verbs that are commonly said to help form the Gothic future: duginnan, haban and skulan. While all three sometimes help translate the Greek future, only haban + infinitive turns out to have a future-related meaning.

Keywords\n: Gothic, future tense, skulan, duginnan, haban
