In Spanish, the future can be expressed (like in English) in 2 different ways: 1. With the verbal structure IR A + INFINITIVE, with IR conjugated in the present tense. Ex.: Yo voy a comer = I am going to eat. We call this the “immediate future”. 2. With the simple future conjugation. It is the easiest conjugation in Spanish. As you remember, the future conjugation consists of attaching the endings é, ás, á, emos, éis, án directly to the verb, without dropping the endings -ar, -er, -ir. This conjugation is the one that we use in English with the helping verbs will and shall. Comer: comeré, comerás, comerá, comeremos, comeréis, comerán (be aware of the accent marks). Ser: seré, serás, será, seremos, seréis, serán. Vender (to sell): venderé, venderás, venderá, venderemos, venderéis, venderán. However, some verbs are irregular in the future tense. Their stems suffer a contraction or they lose a letter. This is the list of irregular verbs in the future: Poner = pondr- to put … and then, you just add the endings: é, ás, á, Querer=querr-to want Tener=tendr- to have emos, éis, án Caber=cabr- to fit Poder= podr- can Hacer= har- to do WATCH OUT: THE VERB VENDER Haber=habr- (habrá = there will be) (TO SELL) IS NOT IRREGULAR IN Salir= saldr- to leave THE FUTURE OR ANY OTHER TENSE Venir=vendr- to come Saber=sabr- to know Examples of sentences in the future: Ana no sabrá las preguntas = Ana no va a saber las preguntas. Yo estaré esta noche en Greenville = Yo voy a estar esta noche en Greenville. Nosotros haremos la cena = nosotros vamos a hacer la cena. 3. What if a verb is reflexive (ducharse, lavarse, peinarse, maquillarse, divertirse, levantarse, acostarse, dormirse, afeitarse, peinarse, bañarse, etc)? Stop making a big deal ouf of it!!!! - If in the immedita future, you have two options: Yo ME voy a lavar or Yo voy a lavarME. Can you see what’s going on? Tú TE vas a divertir or Tú vas a divertirTE. Ella SE va a duchar or Ella va a durcharSE. Still can’t see anything? - If in the simple future, like with any other conjugation: the reflexive pronoun, in front of the verb ALWAYS. Yo ME lavaré, tú TE lavarás, él SE lavará. Nosotros NOS lavaremos, vosotros OS lavaréis, ellos SE lavarán. No other possibilities!!!!!
