V dictionary form / N の + 予定です (V-jisho / N no + yotei desu) — It is scheduled to ~

The pattern for something already fixed on the calendar.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

Verb V辞書形 + 予定です
N N + の + 予定です

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

When to use it

Telling your boss when a job will finish, 予定です is the right choice, because it sounds settled.

Meaning

「〜予定です」says that a date, a time or a programme is already fixed.

How to attach

  • With a verb, attach it straight to the dictionary form — 出張する → 出張する 予定です.
  • With a noun you need の in between — 休み → 休みの 予定です.

Versus what you know

This is the difference from 〜つもりです: つもり is a decision in my head and can change, while 予定 is a programme the company or the group has already fixed.

Watch out

Do not use 予定 for a vague wish to go somewhere.
