The contents discussed in this paper are as follows. First, by observing the immediate future usage of the past tense marker, it has three characteristics: ‘lexical device can be omitted’, ‘speaker’s certainty’, and ‘moving verb appears as a predicate’. Second, the immediate future use of ‘-eoss-(-었-)’ has three semantic characteristics: [certainty], [accomplished fact], [imminence], and has three uses: location notification, expectation realization, and warning. Third, the immediate future use of the Korean language ‘-eoss-(-었-)’ is judged as a semantic-pragmatic meaning based on three aspects: motivation for utterance(certainty), basis for utterance(implicature), and speaker’s observation method(deictic projection).
