Irregular Spanish Future Tense

The irregularities in the future tense are a bit difficult to predict. You will be happy to know that ser and estar, which are irregular in almost every other tense, are completely regular in the future. It’s the following that you have to look out for:

 

Irregular –ER verbs

Irregular –IR verbs

 

SABER
to know

PONER
to put

VENIR
to come

SALIR
to leave, go out

yo

sabré

pondré

vendré

saldré

sabrás

pondrás

vendrás

saldrás

Ud., él, ella,

sabrá

pondrá

vendrá

saldrá

nosotros/as

sabremos

pondremos

vendremos

saldremos

vosotros/as

sabréis

pondréis

vendréis

saldréis

Uds., ellos, ellas

sabrán

pondrán

vendrán

saldrán

You will notice that the irregular –er verbs drop the –e from the infinitive ending, while the irregular –ir verbs replace the –i with an –r.

Other common verbs that follow this irregularity are:

poder: podré, podrás, podrá, podremos, podréis, podrán querer: querré, querrás, querrá, querremos, querréis, querrán tener: tendré, tendrás, tendrá, tendremos, tendréis, tendrán valer: valdré, valdrás, valdrá, valdremos, valdréis, valdrán

There are two verbs that have an even stranger stem change in the future tense. You will simply have to memorize these.

I have been using Rocket Languages to learn Spanish but decided I wanted to delve into another language. I started the French course right after the new 2013 edition and have absolutely fell in love with the interface. It has made learning another language very easy and I am definitely looking forward to learning more languages once I complete my Spanish and French courses.

The first two hours of my day, 5 days a week are spent on Rocket Spanish or Rocket Chinese. The single best ROI (return on investment) I've had in my life. I was raised in a bi-lingual household where Spanish was the lesser used language. So my whole life I've been waiting to learn my parents native language. Thanks Rocket Spanish for making my dream a reality.

I am a corporate pilot, and when I was in China a stranger told me the best way he found to matriculate in the country was through "Rocket Chinese" He had tried all the others and convinced this was the easiest to do.

2 1/2 years later, I am still enjoy learning first thing in the morning!

Gracias Adios por Rocket Espanol!

Hola Mauricio. When our company began to do business in Chile, it became necessary for me to get serious about learning Spanish. I'd tried various courses and books in the past without getting very far. I researched all of the computer based teaching programs including all of the well known and more expensive and chose Rocket Spanish specifically because of the interactive conversational part of the course. The online/downloadable version is a great value.

While a co-worker who bought a *competitors* series is still at square one, my Spanish has progressed to the point that I became the translator for our construction team on a recent mission trip to Mexico. On that trip, I became friends with a Venezuelan man and was able (with a little help) to have a 45 minute conversation about our countries, homes and families. All this is before I have tackled the advanced part of the course.

The course is well designed and moves at a fast enough pace to hold the attention of a quick learner but allows as much time and as many repetitions as needed to allow anyone to understand each part. The written materials are a great support and cover the details and "dry" stuff while requiring a minimum of memorization. It still takes work to learn, but Rocket Spanish is far more interesting and user friendly than any other approach I've seen.

Especially helpful is the combination of South American pronunciation by Mauricio and English explanation by Amy. They do a great job of helping you understand the details of the conversation without getting unnecessarily bogged down in the grammar. The humor they add to the conversations really helps to keep the interest level high and the stress level low. The result is a lot more natural, like the way I learned English before the teachers got a hold of me.

Buenos días,

Permítame presentarme, me llamo Bill. Soy de Estados Unidos, vivo en Little Rock, Arcansas. Después de estudiar las lecciones en español de Pimsleur todavía he querido aprender más español, así que compre Rocket Spanish. He encontrado el curso ser muy bueno, especialmente con las partes del cuerpo, las habitaciones de la casa, los artículos de ropa, la comida española etc.

Mauricio habla ingles con un acento australiano pero su español es de Chile, y he América latina y sin embargo es muy bueno para nosotros norte americanos que quieren aprender ese idioma, para hablar español en sus vacaciones, con sus amigos hispánicos en estados unidos y para hacer viajes de negocios en América latina. Apropósito la cuesta del curso es muy razonable y muy barato, también Mauricio va a darme un regalo por este testimonial, pero todavía es verdad y me gustaría que todas las personas que quisieran aprender español, especialmente los novicios como yo, deben darle mucha consideración, cuando usted va a compran un programa para aprender Español, lo que va a ayudarle más va hacer lo que usted va a usar más, y Rocket Spanish como no es lo mismo. Ojala que usted va hablar español por todas las razones a que necesita y creo que Rocket Spanish va ayudarle para llegar al el lugar que necesita estar.

My name is Andrea Williams. I think Rocket Spanish is a fabulous program. I've had been considering learning Spanish for a number of years but really never made the effort to do that, until I found myself with two friends from South America and suddenly had to actually converse with them in Spanish on a regular basis and while I'm still in the learning stage.

It's been a lot of fun being able to, you know, at least greet my friends in Spanish and say a few things to them and I'm hoping it will also help me in my job down the road.

But I think it's fabulous and just looking forward to getting fluent. Thank you.
