Answer:

An example in English:

“I am going to call you later. “

Unlike in English, the near future tense in Spanish uses the present simple conjugation of ir (voy) instead of the present continuous (yendo):

Te voy a llamar más tarde.

So, what is the formula?

Present simple conjugation of ir + a + infinitive verb

Remember:

Always use the present simple conjugations of the verb ir.

Always include the word a between ir and the infinitive verb.

An infinitive verb in Spanish is one that ends in -ar, -er, and -ir.

Step-by-step explanation:

present simple conjugations of the verb ir:

Pronoun: Ir conjugation:

Yo voy

Tú vas

Él/ella/usted va

Nosotros vamos

Ustedes van

Ellos/ellas van
