Spanish Irregular Future Tense
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 |
| tú | 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.
| HACER to make, to do |
DECIR to say, to tell |
|
| yo | haré | diré |
| tú | harás | dirás |
| Ud., él, ella, | hará | dirá |
| nosotros/as | haremos | diremos |
| vosotros/as | haréis | diréis |
| Uds., ellos, ellas | harán | dirán |
