Simple Future

While the simple future is most often used to talk about what a person will do, it can also be used to talk about conjecture, possibilities, and probabilities in the present, make predictions about the future, and give solemn commands.

To conjugate regular verbs in the simple future tense, simply add the correct ending to the infinitive of the verb. All verb conjugations (-ar, -er, and -ir) have the same endings in the simple future tense, and we add these endings to irregular stems as well.

Spanish Simple Future Endings

Subject	Ending
yo	-é
tú, vos	-ás
usted, él, ella	-á
nosotros	-emos
vosotros	-éis
ustedes, ellos, ellas	-án

Spanish Simple Future Irregular Endings

The simple future has relatively few irregular verbs, and they fall into three distinct categories:

• those that drop the e or i from the infinitive ending and add a d

• those that simply drop the e or i from the infinitive ending

• those that don't follow any predictable pattern and must simply be memorized

In these lessons, you learned the following irregular verbs:

Infinitive	Simple Future Stem
caber	cabr-
hacer	har-
poder	podr-
querer	querr-
salir	saldr-
tener	tendr-
valer	valdr-
venir	vendr-

Remember, once you have the irregular stem of the verb, you simply add the future simple endings listed above!
