There are two tenses that you can use: The Future The Conditional Future Tense I am going to play I will play I will be playing In English: The Conditional I would play I would be playing

©CAS 2002 The Immediate Future Tense In English: I am going to play The Immediate Future Tense is formed by using The verb ir + a + infinitive voy vas va vamos vais van a jugar comer vivir Therefore voy a jugar =I am going to playvamos a comer =We are going to eatVan a vivir =They are going to live

©CAS 2002 Mirar = to watch Vender = to sell Subir = to climb voy vas va vamos vais van You (sg) are going to sell He is going to climb They are going to watch I am going to climb We are going to sell You (pl) are going to watch Vas a vender Va a subir Van a mirar Voy a subir Vamos a vender Vais a mirar

©CAS 2002 The Future Tense In English: I will play I will be playing The Future Tense is formed by using infinitive + ending hablar beber recibir é ás á emos éis án Beberemos = We will drink Recibiré = I will receive Hablarán = They will speak He will drink = Beberá Hablaré = I will speak Recibiréis = You (pl) will receive

¿Qué es la diferencia? Voy a ir a España. I am going to Spain. Iré a España. I will go to Spain. In English it is kinda of clear. But still, what is the difference between you are going to do something and you will do something? The best explanation is that we use Ir+a+infinitive for the more immediate future (couple of days, a week, month, one year). Anything in the further future (more than a year, etc.) we use the true Future tense.

©CAS 2002 What makes the Future Tense easy to use ? All infinitives use the same endings. What makes the Future Tense more tricky ? There are 12 irregular verbs in the Future Tense

©CAS 2002 Irregular Verbs in the Future Tense: caber decir haber hacer poder poner querer saber salir tener valer venir to fit to say / tell to have* to do / make to be able to put to want to know (a fact) to go out to have* to be worth to come * Tener means to own or to possess. You will use this verb a lot. Haber is an auxiliary or helping verb. You will use it very rarely. cabré, cabrás, …. diré habré haré podré pondré querré sabré saldré tendré valdré vendré The endings are the same as for the regular verbs, but a future stem is used instead of the infinitive.
