"I wonder how old the new teacher is....?"

Question

How do you say: "I wonder how old the new teacher is." and "I wonder if there will be many students in the Spanish class this year." using the future tense?

Answer 1

If "cuantos años tiene el profesor" is present tense, put the "tiene" into future, and that will give the feeling of "I wonder..." Likewise, if "Hay muchos estudiantes" is present tense, put "hay" into the future, surround it with question marks, and you have the "I wonder". You can also preface those future forms with "Me pregunto si...+ future structure."

Answer 2

Me pregunto cuantos anos tiene la maestra nueva?

Me pregunto = I wonder ( literally - I ask myself) - ian-hill, OCT 25, 2009

Answer 3

(Me pregunto) ¿Cuántos años tendrá el/la profesor/a? (Me pregunto si) habrá muchos estudiantes en la clase.

P..S. Why would one enclose (whatever tense) of "haber" in quotation marks? It's a normal word used in a normal way.
