How to use 必将
必将 is a formal adverb placed before the verb to say something is bound to happen in the future. It is common in speeches, news, and written Chinese, and less common in casual talk. Example: 努力必将带来成功。(Nǔlì bìjiāng dàilái chénggōng.) Hard work will surely bring success.
必将 combines 必 (bì, must, certainly) from 必须 (bìxū) with 将 (jiāng, will, about to) from 将来 (jiānglái). Something that certainly will happen is something that is inevitably going to happen.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 必将 with 必须 (bìxū). 必须 means someone must do something, while 必将 predicts that something will certainly happen. Also, 将 here is first tone jiāng, not fourth tone jiàng as in 将军 (jiàngjūn).
