"going to be tired/angry" in spanish

Question

Hi. I just learned about the "voy a ..." way of speach, such as "voy a comprar unas verduras". but can I say something about someone's feelings etc. that way? in short, can I say about someone "va a estar feliz", or about myself "voy a ser enfermo" for example? thank you

thank you both, helped a lot - idamit, Jul 25, 2012

Answer 1

You use estar as you will be tired for a while or ill for a while ser is for a permanent state of being.

You can also use future tense future tense explained

the great thing about using the future tense is that the endings ARE ALWAYS THE SAME...even the irregular verbs!

Answer 2

Cuando terminaré con este trabajo vou a estar muy cansado.

Si tú sigues comportiendo así voy a estar muy enojado contigo.

So, yes, you can use the "Ir a (estar) cansado/enojado" construction for this type of thing. But remember as mentioned above to use estar for temporary emotions and states of being.
