Hi everyone,

In Spanish, Simple Future Tense is used when you want to talk about something that will happen in the future.

In Spanish, there are two ways to express the Future:

infinitive verb + ending

and

ir + a + infinitive verb

"Infinitive Verb+Ending" Structure[edit | edit source]

In Spanish, this structure is a little more formal and generally it doesn't matter if the infinitive verb ends in "ar", "er" or "ir". You need to put the infinitive verb and add the corresponding ending with the subject. The next table will show you how you can add the corresponding ending with the subject using the verb "to drive" as an example.

Subject Ending Manejar
Yo é Manejaré
ás Manejarás
Él/Ella/Usted á Manejará
Nosotros/Nosotras emos Manejaremos
Vosotros/Vosotras éis Manejaréis
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas án Manejarán

Irregular Verbs[edit | edit source]

This structure has irregular verbs and always they are some verbs that end in er and ir. They change their base form and use the same endings. The next table will show you how you can conjugate the verb "to have" as an example.

Subject Tener
Yo Tendré
Tendrás
Él/Ella/Usted Tendrá
Nosotros/Nosotras Tendremos
Vosotros/Vosotras Tendréis
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas Tendrán

And the next table will show you how you can conjugate the verb "to get out" as an example.

Subject Salir
Yo Saldré
Saldrás
Él/Ella/Usted Saldrá
Nosotros/Nosotras Saldremos
Vosotros/Vosotras Saldréis
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas Saldrán

"Ir+A+Infinitive Verb" Structure[edit | edit source]

In Spanish, this structure is a litte more informal and first, you need to know how to conjugate the verb "ir". Remember in English this type of future is created with the verb to be + gerund but not in Spanish.

Subject Ir
Yo Voy
Vas
Él/Ella/Usted Va
Nosotros/Nosotras Vamos
Vosotros/Vosotras Vais
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas Van

Example: Yo voy a comer.
