Uses of the future tense
 In Spanish, as in English, the future tense
is one of many ways to express actions or
conditions that will happen in the future.
PRESENT INDICATIVE
PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE
conveys a sense of certainty that the
action will occur
refers to an action that has yet
to occur: used after verbs of will and
influence.
Llegan a la costa mañana.
Prefiero que lleguen a la costa
mañana.
They arrive at the coast tomorrow.
I prefer that they arrive at the
coast tomorrow.
6.1–8
ir a + [infinitive]
FUTURE TENSE
expresses the near future;
is commonly used in
everyday speech
expresses an action that will
occur; often implies more
certainty than ir a + [infinitive]
Van a llegar a la costa mañana.
Llegarán a la costa mañana.
They are going to arrive at the
coast tomorrow.
They will arrive at the coast
tomorrow.
The English word will can refer either to future time
or to someone’s willingness to do something.
To express willingness, Spanish uses the verb
querer + [infinitive], not the future tense.
¿Quieres contribuir a la
protección del medio ambiente?
Quiero ayudar, pero no sé
por dónde empezar.
Will you contribute to the
protection of the environment?
I’m willing to help, but I don’t
know where to begin.
In Spanish, the future tense may be used to express
conjecture or probability, even about present events.
English expresses this sense in various ways, such as
wonder, bet, must be, may, might, and probably.
¿Qué hora será?
Ya serán las dos de la mañana.
I wonder what time it is.
It must be two a.m. by now.
¿Lloverá mañana?
Probablemente tendremos un poco de
sol y un poco de viento.
Do you think it will rain
tomorrow?
It’ll probably be sunny and windy.
When the present follows a conjunction of time
like cuando, después (de) que, en cuanto,
hasta que, and tan pronto como, the future
tense is often used in the main clause of the
sentence.
Nos quedaremos lejos de la costa hasta que pase el huracán.
We’ll stay far from the coast until the hurricane passes.
En cuanto termine de llover, regresaremos a casa.
As soon as it stops raining, we’ll go back home.
