Future Before learning to form the future it in English: I will speak. The future tense in English ALWAYS has the word “will” (or “shall”). It can be abbeviated “’ll” (“I’ll speak,” “she’ll speak,” etc.). As its name indicates, it shows actions that have not yet taken place but that will do so in the future. The stem for the future is the infinitive: hablartrabajarmirar- comerleervolver- vivirescribirabrir- Following are the endings for the future (-ar, -er, and –ir verbs): -é -ás -á -emos -éis -án hablaré hablaremos comeré comeremos hablarás hablaréis comerás comeréis hablará hablarán comerá comerán viviré viviremos vivirás viviréis vivirá vivirán Note: the future endings, with the exception of the “vosotros” ending, are the same as the present perfect helping verb minus the “h”: -é -ás -á -emos -éis -án he has ha hemos habéis han Click here to go to a brief practice exercise. Irregular Verbs No verbs stem change in the future, and there are no spell changes. However, there are several irregular stems: verbs where a d replaces the i or e salir saldrvenir vendrponer pondrtener tendr- verbs where the e disappears poder querer saber haber podrquerrsabrhabr- verbs where two letters disappear decir dirhacer har- One more little thing: The future has a special use, besides it’s regular use. “Juan estará aquí” can have two meanings: Juan will be here. Juan is probably here. It all depends on context. But the long and short of it is that the future can be translated Present + probably OR future When it’s translated with “probably,” we call it “the future of probability.” A good example is if someone asks you what time it is. You don’t have a watch, but you say, “Serán las cinco,” which means, “It’s probably 5:00.” Click here to go to a brief practice exercise. Click here to go to your homework.
