Spanish/Lesson 10

Grammar - Future
In Spanish, the future has the same function as the future in English - to state things that will happen. Its use is equal to verbs ending in -ar, -er and -ir for regular verbs.

Example:

There are some irregular verbs that have different conjugations in the future for the first person - yo:
 * venir: vendr - é
 * tener: tendr - é
 * poner: pondr - é
 * salir: saldr - é
 * poder: podr - é
 * hacer: har - é
 * querer: querr - é

Soon realization
To express a plan for soon realization you need to use ir a + infinitivo. Example: Voy a visitar mi amigo. This means I'll leave to visit my friend soon, maybe in the next hour.

Realization decided
To express that a plan is really going to happen you need to use pensar + infinitivo. Example: Penso visitar mi amigo. This means I will, but maybe in weekend, maybe next week.

Realization not decided yet
To express that a plan may happen as you are not sure use estar pensando en  + infinitivo. Example: Estoy pensando en visitar mi amigo. This means I am just planning, not sure yet.
