In Spanish, knowing how to use the future tense is really important. It helps you communicate more effectively. In this post, we’re going to learn how to change some usual irregular verbs into the future tense.

How to Form the Future Tense:

To form the future tense in Spanish, you simply add specific endings to the base form of the verb, called the infinitive. Here are the endings for all regular verbs:

• yo: -é
• tú: -ás
• él/ella/usted: -á
• nosotros/nosotras: -emos
• vosotros/vosotras: -éis
• ellos/ellas/ustedes: -án

But be careful! Irregular verbs don’t follow this pattern because their roots change before you add the endings.

When to Use the Future Tense:

We mostly use the future tense to talk about things that will happen later. For example:

• Mañana haré mi tarea. (Tomorrow, I will do my homework.)

The future tense can also help us guess about what is happening now. For example:

• ¿Qué hora será? (What time could it be?)

Important Things to Remember:

• The endings for the future tense are the same for all regular verbs, but irregular verbs change their roots.
• Practice these common irregular verbs often. This will make you feel more comfortable using them in conversations.

By learning these ways to change verbs, you will be able to talk about future actions and possibilities in Spanish. This will help you understand the language even better!
