| Do you know how to talk about future actions in Spanish? |
| Welcome to Three Step Spanish Practice by SpanishPod101.com. In this lesson, you will practice the simple future tense. |
| Let's look at the main dialogue. |
| Two people are having a conversation. |
| Iré a Puerto Vallarta con unos amigos. |
| "I'm going to Puerto Vallarta with some friends." |
| ¿Eh? ¿Irás a la playa? ¿No buscarás trabajo? |
| "Huh? Will you go to the beach? Won't you look for a job?" |
| Iré |
| Iré comes from the verb ir, meaning "to go," and it's in the simple future tense. |
| In Spanish, the future tense is made by adding special endings to the full infinitive form of the verb. |
| Iré means "I will go." We don't need to include the word yo because the verb form already shows the subject. |
| Let's look at how the future tense works in Spanish. |
| To form the regular future tense, you take the full infinitive form of the verb and add the appropriate future ending based on the subject: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -án. |
| But some common verbs are irregular and don't use the full infinitive. |
| For example, tener becomes tendré "I will have," and hacer becomes haré "I will do/make." Even though the stem changes, the same future endings are added. |
| Let's practice using the future tense in some simple sentences. |
