Future
Conjugation
The Persian future verbs are made up of two parts:
1. The corresponding present simple form of the verb “to want” (“خواستن”) without the prefix “می”.
2. The past stem of the verb

Usage
The Persian future tense is similar in its use to its English counterpart. However, it is more common in Persian to use the present simple instead of the future. In fact, using the future tense is considered rather formal and is rarely seen in Colloquial Persian.
رئیس جمهور فردا به افغانستان نخواهد رفت.
پلیس همهی گروگانها را نجات خواهد داد.
روزی پدرت بر خواهد گشت.
The president will not go to Afghanistan tomorrow.
The police will rescue all the hostages.
One day your father will return.
As you can see in the last two examples, in compound verbs, the noun (or preposition) part precedes the two verb parts.
