2  We already know how to use one form of the future in Spanish:  Near Future: ir + a + infinitive (going to verb)

3  A present tense form of the verb ir (to go) plus the preposition a plus an infinitive is often used as a substitute for the future tense in Spanish. The same phenomenon also occurs in English:  ¿Vas a estudiar mañana? Are you going to study tomorrow?  No voy a hacer nada. I'm not going to do anything.

4  The endings for all verbs are:  -é-emos  -ás-éis  -á-án  Note that every one except nosotros form requires a written accent The endings are the same for –ar, -er, and –ir verbs

5  Stem: Normally, infinitive is used as the stem  Ejemplos  Hablar: Hablar é hablaremos Hablaráshablaréis hablaráhablarán

12  There are two main ways in which the future tense is used in Spanish:  I. It indicates future time, the same as in English. ◦ Mañana saldremos para Madrid. Tomorrow we will leave for Madrid. ◦ El lunes iré al hospital. I'll go to the hospital on Monday.

13  II. The future tense is also used to indicate conjecture or probability in the present time. In English, expressions such as “probably”, “must”, “I/you think” are usually used rather than the future tense. ◦ ¿Dónde estará María? Where do you think Mary is (right now)? ◦ Estará en casa. She is probably at home. ◦ Serán las ocho. It must be 8:00. (Or: It is probably 8:00, I think it's 8:00, etc.)
