Italian → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Futuro Semplice

In the previous lesson, we learned about the Passato Prossimo tense in Italian. We learned how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the past tense and how to use this tense to talk about completed actions in the past. In this lesson, we will continue our journey through Italian verb tenses and focus on the Futuro Semplice tense.

What is the Futuro Semplice tense?

The Futuro Semplice tense, also known as the Simple Future tense, is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. It is one of the most commonly used tenses in Italian and is relatively easy to form. In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the Futuro Semplice tense and explore some common uses of this tense in everyday Italian.

Forming the Futuro Semplice tense

To form the Futuro Semplice tense, we need to use the infinitive form of the verb and add specific endings to it. The endings are the same for all three conjugations (-are, -ere, and -ire verbs) and are as follows:

- For -are verbs:

 * Io -erò
 * Tu -erai
 * Lui/lei -erà
 * Noi -eremo
 * Voi -erete
 * Loro -eranno

- For -ere verbs:

 * Io -erò
 * Tu -erai
 * Lui/lei -erà
 * Noi -eremo
 * Voi -erete
 * Loro -eranno

- For -ire verbs:

 * Io -irò
 * Tu -irai
 * Lui/lei -irà
 * Noi -iremo
 * Voi -irete
 * Loro -iranno

Let's take a look at some examples:

- Parlare (to speak):

 * Io parlerò (I will speak)
 * Tu parlerai (You will speak)
 * Lui/lei parlerà (He/she will speak)
 * Noi parleremo (We will speak)
 * Voi parlerete (You all will speak)
 * Loro parleranno (They will speak)

- Scrivere (to write):

 * Io scriverò (I will write)
 * Tu scriverai (You will write)
 * Lui/lei scriverà (He/she will write)
 * Noi scriveremo (We will write)
 * Voi scriverete (You all will write)
 * Loro scriveranno (They will write)

- Dormire (to sleep):

 * Io dormirò (I will sleep)
 * Tu dormirai (You will sleep)
 * Lui/lei dormirà (He/she will sleep)
 * Noi dormiremo (We will sleep)
 * Voi dormirete (You all will sleep)
 * Loro dormiranno (They will sleep)

As you can see, the endings are added directly to the infinitive form of the verb. It's important to note that there are no stem changes or irregularities in the formation of the Futuro Semplice tense for regular verbs. However, there are some irregular verbs that have unique conjugations in this tense, which we will explore later in this lesson.

Using the Futuro Semplice tense

The Futuro Semplice tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. Here are some common uses of this tense:

1. Expressing future actions:

  * Domani andrò al cinema. (Tomorrow I will go to the cinema.)
  * La settimana prossima partiranno per le vacanze. (Next week they will leave for vacation.)

2. Making predictions or expressing future probabilities:

  * Credo che saranno felici insieme. (I think they will be happy together.)
  * Penso che domani pioverà. (I think it will rain tomorrow.)

3. Offering or making promises:

  * Ti aiuterò con i compiti. (I will help you with your homework.)
  * Prometto che verrò alla tua festa. (I promise I will come to your party.)

4. Giving commands or instructions in a polite way:

  * Mi daresti un'informazione, per favore? (Would you give me some information, please?)
  * Potresti chiudere la finestra? Fa freddo. (Could you close the window? It's cold.)

It's important to note that the Futuro Semplice tense is often used in combination with time expressions to provide context and specify when the future action will happen.

Irregular verbs in the Futuro Semplice tense

While most verbs follow the regular conjugation pattern in the Futuro Semplice tense, there are some irregular verbs that have unique conjugations. Here are some common irregular verbs and their conjugations in the Futuro Semplice tense:

- Essere (to be):

 * Io sarò (I will be)
 * Tu sarai (You will be)
 * Lui/lei sarà (He/she will be)
 * Noi saremo (We will be)
 * Voi sarete (You all will be)
 * Loro saranno (They will be)

- Avere (to have):

 * Io avrò (I will have)
 * Tu avrai (You will have)
 * Lui/lei avrà (He/she will have)
 * Noi avremo (We will have)
 * Voi avrete (You all will have)
 * Loro avranno (They will have)

- Fare (to do/make):

 * Io farò (I will do/make)
 * Tu farai (You will do/make)
 * Lui/lei farà (He/she will do/make)
 * Noi faremo (We will do/make)
 * Voi farete (You all will do/make)
 * Loro faranno (They will do/make)

These are just a few examples of irregular verbs in the Futuro Semplice tense. It's important to memorize their conjugations as they do not follow the regular pattern.

Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the Futuro Semplice tense in Italian. We learned how to form this tense for regular and irregular verbs and explored some common uses of the Futuro Semplice tense in everyday Italian. In the next lesson, we will continue our journey through Italian verb tenses and learn about the Imperfect tense. Keep up the good work!
