El Futuro & El Condicional Avancemos 3 – Unidad 3 Lección 1
El Futuro We have already learned how to refer to future events by using the formula “ir + a + infinitive”. Spanish verbs can also be conjugated in the future tense. The future tense translates to “will…” in English.
El Futuro The future tense conjugation is different than all of the other conjugations you have learned because you add the ending directly onto the infinitive (you don’t remove the ending). Additionally, there is only one set of endings (you use the same endings for ar/er/ir verbs).
El Futuro -é -ás -á -emos -án Here are the endings for the future tense Remember the endings attach to the infinitive of the verb -é -ás -á -emos -án

El Futuro You can also use the future tense to wonder or to make a guess about something. Example: ¿Qué hará Carlos hoy? – I wonder what Carlos is doing today? Jugará al tenis con Emiliano. – He’s probably playing tennis with Emiliano.
El Condicional
El Condicional To say what someone would or wouldn’t do, you use the conditional tense. I would bring a blanket. They wouldn’t resolve the problem.
El Condicional Like the future tense, you will attach the verb endings to the infinitive of the verb. Additionally, there is only 1 set of endings for “ar”/”er”/”ir” verbs. They are the same endings as the “er”/”ir” imperfect endings.
The Conditional Endings Here are the conditional endings Remember – they attach to the infinitive of the verb -ía -ías -íamos -ían
