Answer:

Future Tense Conjugation

The futuro simple de indicativo, or synthetic future tense, is used for events more distant in the future or less specifically planned, without mentioning a specific time. More specifically, it’s used for:

1. An intention to do something in the future:

Mañana ordenaré mi habitación. I’ll tidy my bedroom tomorrow.

2. An assumption about the future:

No lo harás hoy. You won’t do it today.

3. An assumption about the present:

Imagino que llegarán hoy por la noche. I suppose they’ll be arriving tonight.

Forming the futuro simple for regular verbs is one of the easy cases in the world of verb conjugations. Simply add the endings in the chart below to the infinitive of the verb.

ir [infinitive] + -é [yo future tense ending]

El año que viene, iré a Puerto Rico. Next year (“this coming year”), I will go to Puerto Rico.

The future tense endings are the same for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs!

yo -é

tú -ás

él, ella, usted -á

nosotros -emos

vosotros -éis

ellos, ellas, ustedes -án

Irregular Verbs in Future Tense

Of course, all of this simple conjugation talk only applies to regular verbs, and irregular verbs love to add their own flair into the mix! Irregular future tense Spanish verbs use a different stem (rather than their full infinitive form). For example, rather than conjugating haber as haberé (“I will have”), the correct form uses the irregular stem to form: habré

Here are a few of the most common verbs with irregular future stems:

Infinitive Stem (add futuro ending to this!)

tener (mantener, obtener, etc.) tendr-

haber habr-

venir vendr-

decir dir-

hacer har-

poner pondr-

salir saldr-

saber sabr-

poder podr-

querer querr-

saber sabr-
