Future rules and endings
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Future Tense | The future tense is used to tell what "will" happen, or what "shall" happen. I will go to the beach next month. I shall write the letter next week. |
| But, the future tense is not used to express a willingness to do something. For this, use the verb "querer." | ¿Quieres ir a la tienda? Will you go to the store? |
| The future tense is also used to express wonder or probability in the present state. | ¿Quién será ella? I wonder who she is? (Who could she be?) Estará viajando solo. He is probably traveling alone. |
| For actions that will occur in the near future, the present tense is more commonly used. | Esta noche voy al cine. Tonight I'm going to the movies. |
| Further in the future, use the future tense. | El año que viene iré a España. Next year I'm going to Spain. |
| Regular verbs in the future tense are conjugated by adding the following endings to the infinitive form of the verb: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. | hablaré hablarás hablará hablaremos hablaréis hablarán |
