Long explanation:
'~(으)ㄹ게요 [(eu)lgeyo]' is a polite and commonly used form to show the speaker's intention, promise or plan to do something in the future. It is bonded to the stem of the verb to develop a future tense expression. It mainly conveys the speaker's strong determination to carry out the action. If a verb stem’s final syllable contains 아/오, 'ㄹ게요' is used. For all other vowel endings and consonant endings, use '을게요'. Participles, as opposed to verbs or adjectives, cannot be used with this form.
