Well, I got some problems with ~ている/ていく/てくる forms.
私はまだ宿題をしていません。
I have not done the homework yet.
{ok present perfect tense.. got it!}
For the motion verbs, I learnt that ているform shows that the motion is completed, and now you exist in that state.
like:
日本に行っています。
Someone has gone to Japan and is there now.
and then why it's future tense here:
1. 君をいつまで思っているのかな?
I wonder how long will I keep thinking of you?
{future tense most probably due to いつまで ?}
2. さきに行っているよ。
I'll go and be there before you.
{future tense? can't it mean something like this: I am already here before you? }
ていく vs てくる
えんぴつを学校に持っていく？
Are (you) taking pencil to school?
えんぴつを学校に持ってくる？
Are (you) bringing pencil to school?
{ Ok 持っていく/くる is easy to understand.}
but what about the below one, is there any difference?
君を好きになっていく。
君を好きになってくる。
よろしくお願いします。
