Spanish Lesson 15 (Future Tense & Weather)
Duration: 30 mins
This 15th lesson deals with the future tense in Spanish. In addition I included a vocabulary list about weather expressions. I will try to give examples using both vocabulary and grammar. That way it will be easy for you to see the words when they are separate and when they are in a sentence. Going through the whole page should take about 30 min. Make sure to read the pronunciation and hear the audio as well. If you have any question about this course, please email me directly at Spanish Classes.
Future
The future is one of the 3 tenses (present, past, and future) we will be discussing in the next 3 lessons. So it is recommended not to skip any of them because they are all related.
Grammar Rule
The future tense in Spanish is very easy to conjugate. Just like in English, the future tense in Spanish is used to describe events happening at in the future: ella estudiará con nosotros. (She will study with us).
To be able to conjugate a verb properly in Spanish, you need simply need to:
- Use the infinitive of a given verb (hablar, comer, vivir) + (é,ás,á,emos,án)
- If the verb is irregular, then use the modified infinitive + (é,ás,á,emos,án)
- Another simple method is to add the ir + a + infinitive of verb. Example: voy a estudiar (I will study)
Here are examples of the 3 methods:
Future of Regular Verbs [Infinitive + (é,ás,á,emos,án)]
- Pensar (to think): yo pensaré, tu pensarás, el/ella pensará, nosotros pensaremos, ellos/ellas/Uds pensarán
- Comer (to eat): yo comeré, tu comerás, el/ella comerá, nosotros comeremos, ellos/ellas/Uds comerán
- Vivir (to live): yo viviré, tu vivirás, el/ella vivirá, nosotros viviremos, ellos/ellas/Uds vivirán
Future of Irregular Verbs [modified infinitive + (é,ás,á,emos,án)]
- Encontrar (to find): yo encontré, tu encontrás, el/ella encontrá, nosotros encontremos, ellos/ellas/Uds encontrán
- Saber (to know): yo sabré, tu sabrás, el/ella sabrá, nosotros sabremos, ellos/ellas/Uds sabrán
- Decir (to say): yo diré, tu dirás, el/ella dirá, nosotros diremos, ellos/ellas/Uds dirán
Future with [ir + a + infinitive of verb]
- Pensar (to think): voy a pensar, vas a pensar, va a pensar, vamos a pensar, van a pensar
- Comer (to eat): voy a comer, vas a comer, va a comer, vamos a comer, van a comer
- Decir (to say): voy a decir, vas a decir, va a decir, vamos a decir, van a decir
Overview
- If a verb is regular and ending in (~ar, ~er, ~ir) use the following: infinitive + é,ás,á,emos,án
- Usually, if a verb is iregular use the following: irregular verb stem + é,ás.á,emos,án
