How shall I do?

Question

If I am going to write ... shall, in spanish.. I can use Ir+a and the the verb e.g (Voy a comprar un coche) but if Im going to write it with é,ás,á,émos,éis,án so it will be compraré, how do I write that in voy a comprar un coche??

Is it compraré un coche??

Tnx

Answer 1

Compraré un coche. Voy a comprar un coche.

These both indicate a future action.

Are you wanting to put the "ir" into the future tense?

Thanks Franco. I can answer simple questions, but not always with a lot of confidence. I answer knowing you've "got my back" if I say it incorrectly. - rheit, Oct 3, 2012

Answer 2

Is it compraré un coche??

This is correct.

The difference between saying this in future tense and using "voy a ...." is that basic future tense tells us that sometime in the future you will by a car - not necessarily right away. "Voy a comprar un coche" gives us the nuance that very soon in the future (maybe even later today) you are going to buy a car.

"Compraré un coche" doesn´t tell us for whom you will buy the car, so if you want to indicate that this car is for you, it would be "Me compraré un coche." For whom ever you buy the car, you insert the corresponding personal pronoun to indicate who the lucky recipiant will be.

Awesome! Very nice description, that helped! - 4you, Oct 4, 2012
