EL Futuro – (Future Tense) The future is one of the simplest Spanish tenses. There is only one set of endings. To form the future tense of -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs, add the following endings to the infinitive.
Yo Trabajar- -é I’ll work Tú Trabajar- -ás You’ll work El /ella /usted Trabajar- -á He /she / you formal will work Nosotros Trabajar- -emos We’ll work Vosotros Trabajar- -éis You’ll work Ellos /ellas / ustedes Trabajar- -an They / you plural formal/ will work
IRREGUALR VERBS
These irregular verbs still use the same endings as regular verbs and are exactly the same in the conditional tense.
