El Futuro Tendrás exito con el dinero… To form it Endings. The endings for all verbs are: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án Note that every one except the nosotros form requires a written accent. Stem - Normally, the infinitive is used as the stem. Samples: hablar comer vivir hablaré hablaremos comeré comeremos viviré viviremos hablarás hablaréis comerás comeréis vivirás viviréis hablará hablarán comerá comerán vivirá vivirán Verbs with irregular future stems: (Remember that this same stem is used to form the conditional.) Decir/dir- to say Haber/habr- there to be [impersonal]; to have [helping verb] Hacer/har-to make, do Poder/podr- to be able Poner/pondr-to put, place, set Querer/querr-to want, love Saber/sabr- to know [a fact], know how [+ infinitive] Salir/saldr-to leave, go out Tener/tendr-to have Valer/valdr-to be worth Venir/vendr-to come Usage There are two main ways in which the future tense is used in Spanish: #1 A. Indicates future time, the same as in English. Mañana saldremos para Madrid. Tomorrow we will leave for Madrid. El lunes iré al hospital. I'll go to the hospital on Monday. NOTE: The present tense is often used instead of the future for near future actions: Esta noche miramos la televisión. Tonight we'll watch TV. Lo hago en dos minutos.I'll do it in two minutes. #2 B. The future tense is also used to indicate conjecture or probability in the present time. In English, expressions such as “probably”, “must”, “I/you think” are usually used rather than the future tense. ¿Dónde estará María? Where do you think Mary is (right now)? Estará en casa.She is probably at home. ¿Qué hora es?What time is it? Serán las ocho.It must be 8:00. (Or: It is probably 8:00, I think it's 8:00, etc.) #3 C. There is a third, seldom seen, use of the future: in commands, as in the ten commandments, where the usage is similar to that in English. No matarás. Thou shalt not kill. Practice I will go. Yo iré He will say Él dirá They will make Ellos harán I wonder what time it is? ¿Qué hora será? Will he be able to go? ¿ Él podrá ir?
