Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/spanish Spanish] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Spanish. We will look at how to form it, when to use it, and some examples of how it is used in everyday conversations. __TOC__


The future tense in Spanish is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. It is formed by using the verb “ir” (to go) plus the infinitive form of the verb. For example:
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/spanish Spanish] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we are going to learn about the future tense in Spanish. The future tense in Spanish is one of the simplest tenses to learn. If you know how to conjugate verbs in the present tense, then the future tense will be a piece of cake! The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future, and it is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb.


* Voy a hablar – I am going to speak
__TOC__
* Vamos a comer – We are going to eat
* Iré a la playa – I will go to the beach


The future tense can also be formed with the verb “haber” (to have). This is used to talk about future events that are certain or likely to happen. For example:
== Regular Verbs ==


* Habrá una fiesta – There will be a party
The future tense in Spanish is formed using the infinitive form of the verb and adding the following endings:
* Habré terminado el trabajo – I will have finished the work
* Habremos llegado a tiempo – We will have arrived on time


The future tense can also be used to express probability or possibility. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Ending
|-
| Yo (I)  || -é
|-
| Tú (You) || -ás
|-
| Él, Ella, Usted (He, She, You Formal) || -á
|-
| Nosotros/Nosotras (We) || -emos
|-
| Vosotros/Vosotras (You all informal) || -éis
|-
| Ellos, Ellas, Ustedes (They, You all formal) || -án
|}


* Quizás vaya al cine – Maybe I will go to the cinema
As an example, let's conjugate the verb "hablar" (to speak) in the future tense:
* Tal vez llueva mañana – Maybe it will rain tomorrow
* Probablemente venga tarde – He/she will probably come late


It is important to note that the future tense is not used to talk about habits or routines. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Conjugation
|-
| Yo hablaré || I will speak
|-
| Tú hablarás || You will speak
|-
| Él/Ella/Usted hablará || He/She/You (formal) will speak
|-
| Nosotros/Nosotras hablaremos || We will speak
|-
| Vosotros/Vosotras hablaréis || You all (informal) will speak
|-
| Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes hablarán || They/You all (formal) will speak
|}


* Yo como todos los días – I eat every day (present tense)
Now let's see some examples:
* Yo comeré todos los días – I will eat every day (incorrect)


The future tense can also be used to make predictions or guesses about the future. For example:
* Mañana hablaremos frente al público. (Tomorrow we'll speak in front of the public.)
* ¿Hablarás con tu jefe sobre el aumento de sueldo? (Will you talk to your boss about the salary increase?)


* Creo que tendré éxito – I think I will be successful
== Irregular Verbs ==
* Supongo que ganaré el premio – I guess I will win the prize
* Pienso que será un gran éxito – I think it will be a great success


Finally, the future tense can be used to express wishes or hopes for the future. For example:  
As with all verbs, there are some irregularities that we need to be aware of. Below are some of the most common irregular verbs in the future tense:


* Ojalá que tenga suerte – I hope I will be lucky
* Tener (to have)
* Espero que sea feliz – I hope he/she will be happy
{| class="wikitable"
* Deseo que tengamos éxito – I wish we will be successful
! Person !! Conjugation
|-
| Yo tendré || I will have
|-
| Tú tendrás || You will have
|-
| Él/Ella/Usted tendrá || He/She/You (formal) will have
|-
| Nosotros/Nosotras tendremos || We will have
|-
| Vosotros/Vosotras tendréis || You all (informal) will have
|-
| Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes tendrán || They/You all (formal) will have
|}

| Yo querré || I will want
|-

|}
|}


Some examples:


* ¿Sabrás nadar mañana? (Will you know how to swim tomorrow?)
* Pedro no asistirá a la fiesta porque no podrá llegar a tiempo. (Pedro won't attend the party because he won't be able to arrive on time.)
* Mañana iremos al cine. ¿Quieres venir con nosotros? (Tomorrow we'll go to the movies. Do you want to come with us?)


== The Verb "Ir" ==


The verb "ir" (to go) is often used to express the future tense in Spanish. To do so, we simply conjugate "ir" in the present tense, and then add the infinitive of the main verb.


Here's how to form the future tense with "ir":


{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Conjugation
|-
| Yo voy a hablar || I'm going to speak
|-
| Tú vas a hablar || You're going to speak
|-
| Él/Ella/Usted va a hablar || He/She/You (formal) is going to speak
|-
| Nosotros/Nosotras vamos a hablar || We're going to speak
|-
| Vosotros/Vosotras vais a hablar || You all (informal) are going to speak
|-
| Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van a hablar || They/You all (formal) are going to speak
|}


Here are some examples:


* El año que viene voy a mudarme a Japón. (Next year I'm going to move to Japan.)
* Mañana vamos a visitar a mis abuelos. (Tomorrow we're going to visit my grandparents.)


== Dialogues ==


* Person 1: ¿Qué vas a hacer este fin de semana? (What are you going to do this weekend?)
* Person 2: Voy a ir al parque con mi familia. ¿Tú qué vas a hacer? (I'm going to the park with my family. What about you?)
* Person 1: Pues, voy a ir al cine con mis amigos. (Well, I'm going to the movies with my friends.)


* Person 1: ¿Quieres venir conmigo al partido de fútbol el sábado? (Do you want to come with me to the soccer game on Saturday?)
* Person 2: Lo siento, no podré ir. Tengo cosas que hacer ese día. (I'm sorry, I won't be able to go. I have things to do that day.)
* Person 1: Oh, bueno. ¡Otra vez será! (Oh well. Maybe next time!)


== Culture and Fun Facts ==


In some Spanish-speaking countries, the future tense can be used to express probability or conjecture about the present, rather than a future action. For example, if someone says "Estará enfermo" (he's probably sick), it means that the person is probably sick right now, not necessarily that he will be sick in the future.


A common future tense expression in Spain is "ir a las tuyas" (literally "go to yours"), which means going to someone's home for a party or social gathering.


== Conclusion ==


In this lesson, we have learned the future tense in Spanish. Remember that it is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb.

Spanish Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Spanish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we are going to learn about the future tense in Spanish. The future tense in Spanish is one of the simplest tenses to learn. If you know how to conjugate verbs in the present tense, then the future tense will be a piece of cake! The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future, and it is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb.

Regular Verbs

The future tense in Spanish is formed using the infinitive form of the verb and adding the following endings:

Person Ending
Yo (I) -é
Tú (You) -ás
Él, Ella, Usted (He, She, You Formal) -á
Nosotros/Nosotras (We) -emos
Vosotros/Vosotras (You all informal) -éis
Ellos, Ellas, Ustedes (They, You all formal) -án

As an example, let's conjugate the verb "hablar" (to speak) in the future tense:

Person Conjugation
Yo hablaré I will speak
Tú hablarás You will speak
Él/Ella/Usted hablará He/She/You (formal) will speak
Nosotros/Nosotras hablaremos We will speak
Vosotros/Vosotras hablaréis You all (informal) will speak
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes hablarán They/You all (formal) will speak

Now let's see some examples:

  • Mañana hablaremos frente al público. (Tomorrow we'll speak in front of the public.)
  • ¿Hablarás con tu jefe sobre el aumento de sueldo? (Will you talk to your boss about the salary increase?)

Irregular Verbs

As with all verbs, there are some irregularities that we need to be aware of. Below are some of the most common irregular verbs in the future tense:

  • Tener (to have)
Person Conjugation
Yo tendré I will have
Tú tendrás You will have
Él/Ella/Usted tendrá He/She/You (formal) will have
Nosotros/Nosotras tendremos We will have
Vosotros/Vosotras tendréis You all (informal) will have
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes tendrán They/You all (formal) will have
  • Poder (to be able to)
Person Conjugation
Yo podré I will be able to
Tú podrás You will be able to
Él/Ella/Usted podrá He/She/You (formal) will be able to
Nosotros/Nosotras podremos We will be able to
Vosotros/Vosotras podréis You all (informal) will be able to
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes podrán They/You all (formal) will be able to
  • Querer (to want)
Person Conjugation
Yo querré I will want
Tú querrás You will want
Él/Ella/Usted querrá He/She/You (formal) will want
Nosotros/Nosotras querremos We will want
Vosotros/Vosotras querréis You all (informal) will want
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes querrán They/You all (formal) will want

Some examples:

  • ¿Sabrás nadar mañana? (Will you know how to swim tomorrow?)
  • Pedro no asistirá a la fiesta porque no podrá llegar a tiempo. (Pedro won't attend the party because he won't be able to arrive on time.)
  • Mañana iremos al cine. ¿Quieres venir con nosotros? (Tomorrow we'll go to the movies. Do you want to come with us?)

The Verb "Ir"

The verb "ir" (to go) is often used to express the future tense in Spanish. To do so, we simply conjugate "ir" in the present tense, and then add the infinitive of the main verb.

Here's how to form the future tense with "ir":

Person Conjugation
Yo voy a hablar I'm going to speak
Tú vas a hablar You're going to speak
Él/Ella/Usted va a hablar He/She/You (formal) is going to speak
Nosotros/Nosotras vamos a hablar We're going to speak
Vosotros/Vosotras vais a hablar You all (informal) are going to speak
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van a hablar They/You all (formal) are going to speak

Here are some examples:

  • El año que viene voy a mudarme a Japón. (Next year I'm going to move to Japan.)
  • Mañana vamos a visitar a mis abuelos. (Tomorrow we're going to visit my grandparents.)

Dialogues

  • Person 1: ¿Qué vas a hacer este fin de semana? (What are you going to do this weekend?)
  • Person 2: Voy a ir al parque con mi familia. ¿Tú qué vas a hacer? (I'm going to the park with my family. What about you?)
  • Person 1: Pues, voy a ir al cine con mis amigos. (Well, I'm going to the movies with my friends.)
  • Person 1: ¿Quieres venir conmigo al partido de fútbol el sábado? (Do you want to come with me to the soccer game on Saturday?)
  • Person 2: Lo siento, no podré ir. Tengo cosas que hacer ese día. (I'm sorry, I won't be able to go. I have things to do that day.)
  • Person 1: Oh, bueno. ¡Otra vez será! (Oh well. Maybe next time!)

Culture and Fun Facts

In some Spanish-speaking countries, the future tense can be used to express probability or conjecture about the present, rather than a future action. For example, if someone says "Estará enfermo" (he's probably sick), it means that the person is probably sick right now, not necessarily that he will be sick in the future.

A common future tense expression in Spain is "ir a las tuyas" (literally "go to yours"), which means going to someone's home for a party or social gathering.

Conclusion

In this lesson, we have learned the future tense in Spanish. Remember that it is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments section below.
