The simple future can refer to actions after the moment of speaking.

The idea

For regular verbs add é, ás, á, emos, éis or án to the whole infinitive; -ar, -er and -ir share these endings.

Examples

  • Mañana hablaré con Ana.I will speak with Ana tomorrow.
  • ¿Comerás aquí más tarde?Will you eat here later?
  • Luis vivirá en Lima el año que viene.Luis will live in Lima next year.
  • Estudiaremos juntos el lunes.We will study together on Monday.
  • Ellos abrirán la tienda a las nueve.They will open the shop at nine.
  • Recibirás el mensaje mañana.You will receive the message tomorrow.
