The Simple Future

There are two ways to form the future tense in Spanish: the informal future (ir + a + infinitive) and the simple future (el futuro simple). The simple future, unlike the informal future, is expressed in a single conjugated verb.

Uses of the 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.

Regular Simple Future Forms

To form the simple future tense, simply add the correct ending to the infinitive of the verb. All verb conjugations (-ar, -er, and -ir)—including irregular verbs—have the same endings in the simple future tense.

Spanish Simple Future Endings

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

Irregular Simple Future Forms

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

Remember that the irregular simple future forms use the same stems as the irregular conditional forms, which you studied in the last level. And just like the conditional, once you have the stem, you simply add the following endings:

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

Giving Advice with the Conditional

In these lessons, we saw that we can use the conditional to give advice.

For example:

examples
Yo que tú, fotografiaría el glaciar. If I were you, I'd photograph the glacier.
Observaría la vista panorámica. I'd look at the panoramic view.
Navegaría por el lago Argentino. I'd sail on Lake Argentino.

Remember that in the Spanish conditional tense, both regular and irregular verbs use the same set of endings, and any stems that are irregular in the simple future are also irregular in the conditional.

Spanish Conditional Endings

Subject	Conditional Ending
yo	-ía
tú, vos	-ías
usted, él, ella	-ía
nosotros, nosotras	-íamos
vosotros, vosotras	-íais
ustedes, ellos, ellas	-ían
