這要看說話的節奏快慢，平時會加“的”，但在趕時間的場合就會盡量縮短，這時候就不會加“的”。很多是用來調節語速和節奏感，達到節省力氣的目的，為的就是不要把某個字說得太長，把這個音節長的字替換成2個字，同時每個字的發音時間縮減為三分之二左右來減慢節奏。

<p>The "的" here is to express the speaker is sure about what he/she said.</p>

<p>So in this sentence, it's more like, "I'm sure he will come back soon."</p>

<p>In this usage, 会 or 不会 is often used.
For example, 他不常迟到，他一定会准时到的
(He's not often be late. (I'm sure) he will be on time.</p>

<p>I came across this simple sentence:</p>

<p>He will be back soon.
他很快就会回来的。 </p>

<p>I understand that the 就 is expressing earliness, but what is the 的 doing here? In the textbook 新的中国 it doesn't say 的 is part of the 就 construction, or on the allgrammar wiki here <a href="https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_earliness_with_%22jiu%22" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_earliness_with_%22jiu%22</a></p>

<p>Is 的 turning the 会回来 into a sort of adjective? Since 会 is an adverb I expected it to be followed only be the verb 回 with the directional complement 来 without the 的. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
