会……的
will surely …: a promise, a reassurance or a confident prediction
Structure
主语 + 会 + 动词 + 的
What it means
会 + verb + 的 says “it will surely happen”: a promise, a reassurance or a confident prediction.
How it is built
Subject + 会 + verb (+ object) + 的: 别着急，他会来的 (don’t worry, he’ll come). The 的 goes at the very end, after the object: 我会给你打电话的.
When to use it
Without 的 (我会去) it is a plain statement; with 的 it sounds sure and reassuring. Add 一定 to make it stronger: 我一定会去的. Use 不会……的 for “certainly won’t”: 我不会忘记你的. Builds on 会 from h1-19.
Watch out
Put 的 at the very end, not straight after 会: ✗ 我会的给你打电话。 ✓ 我会给你打电话的。
Examples
放心吧，我一定会去的。
Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there.
别着急，他会来的。
Don’t worry, he’ll come.
我不会忘记你的。
I’ll never forget you.
