Future or Futuro


The future tense

 

Here are both the Future tenses. I will firstly show you the nearer future, formed by the part of "IR + A + INF". This is extremely easy. In English we don't always use "will". Sometimes we say, "I am going to..." Well, this is what happens in Spanish too. Look at this:

Here are some examples in English and Spanish of the "going to" future:

To be able to form this tense you need to know how to form "To go" (IR), so here it is:

  • PERSON ↓              INFINITIVE → IR
    (yo) I VOY
    (t�) You VAS
    (�l/ella/usted) He/She/You (polite) VA
    (nosotros) We VAMOS
    (vosotros) You (plural) VAIS
    (ellos/ellas/ustedes) They/You (polite/plural) VAN

    That was nice and simple, but here is the main and proper Future tense:

    In both English and Spanish the Future tense is used to show a future action or state.
    Here's how to use it:

    Finally, remember that the Future tense is never used in Spanish after "si" when "si" means "if" or "whether".
