The Futuro Simple (Future Tense)
Unlike the 'ir + a + infinitive' construction (which is for immediate plans), the Futuro Simple is used for promises and predictions. You add the ending directly to the infinitive of the verb.
| Use | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Yo (I) | Infinitive + -é | Ayudaré (I will help) |
| Tú (You) | Infinitive + -ás | Aprenderás (You will learn) |
| Él/Ella (He/She) | Infinitive + -á | Disfrutará (He/She will enjoy) |
| Nosotros (We) | Infinitive + -emos | Contaremos (We will count) |
