Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! This series walks you through the formation and usage of verbs in Spanish. In today’s lesson, Beatriz and Joseph discuss the Future Tense and how it can be used to give commands. We’ll learn how to express future actions in the indicative, but with the same function as the imperative. Special focus is given to the verbs “salir” (to leave, to go out), “tener” (to have), and “hacer” (to do, to make). Make sure to look at Verb Conjugation Series 11 to reference information on the Future Tense. Join us for another lesson from SpanishPod101, where we bring the Spanish-speaking world to you.

It is interesting to see how we can use the indicative mood in both the present and future tenses to give commands (the indicative basically works in place of the imperative mood). Does anyone have any questions regarding the formation of the future tense?
