Is it possible to use "(으)려고" in future tense and with adjectives?
Hello,guys!!! 안녕하세요~~

I have two questions about "(으)려고":

1)Can i use the connective "(으)려고" with the future tense?Because when i learned this grammar there was said that i can't and it sounds very awkward,but then there was the following sentence as an example(and i was ok):
언제 책을 사려고 서점에 갈 거에요?“When will (you) go to the bookstore to buy the book?”

so i'm confused=(

2)Can i use the connective "(으)려고" and "(으)려고 하다" with adjectives like this:
유명해지려고 해요.I am going to be famous.
날씬해지려고 매일 운동을 해요. In order to be slim I exercise every day.

I hope somebody can help me:)

Answer

(으)려고 used to express current or past intention or desire to do something.
1. (으)려고" used with past or present tense.
If you want to mean "When will (you) go to the bookstore to buy the book?”
언제 책을 사러 서점에 갈 거에요?

2. 
유명해지려고 해요 is correct but unnatural.
유명해질 거예요. or 유명해지고 싶어요. is more natural.

날씬해지려고 매일 운동을 해요. is correct and unnatural.
