How to translate Futuro to English

Notice that the English phrases provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:

• In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
• Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
• Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
• In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.

Note the timeline

The ability to accurately locate the desired position on the timeline is a crucial skill for proper choice of tenses. So note the timeline in our lessons and visualize it while listening, speaking, reading or writing. After a bit practice you’ll be able to select the right tense to use much easier.

Step by step instructions

Futuro belongs to the simple tenses group, which means that all of the conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in the Spanish language, where each inflected verb form consists of two words.The verb hablar has a completely regular conjugation in the Futuro tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that this verb simply follows the basic rules for its conjugation group (-ar) without exceptions. The basis for this conjugation is the infinitive of this verb, so it’s really simple to create, and only a few exceptions exist.Use the infinitive hablar in each person. Next, add to the infinitive the endings specific to each person. In this tense we use the exact same endings in each of the three conjugation groups -ar, -er, -ir. Analyze the image showing all six endings. Note the shapes and colors of the letters. They are arranged to help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings. Add the regular ending -é for the first person singular to create hablaré:

• yo hablaré – I will speak

And again add the regular ending -ás for the second person singular to create hablarás:

• tú hablarás – you will speak

Again add the regular ending -á for the third person singular to create hablará:

• él hablará – he will speak
• ella hablará – she will speak
• usted hablará – (formal) you will speak

Like in the previous case add the regular ending -emos for the first person plural to create hablaremos:

• nosotros hablaremos – we will speak
• nosotras hablaremos – (feminine) we will speak

And once more add the regular ending -éis for the second person plural to create hablaréis:

• vosotros hablaréis – (plural) you will speak
• vosotras hablaréis – (feminine, plural) you will speak

Like in the previous case add the regular ending -án for the third person plural to create hablarán:

• ellos hablarán – they will speak
• ellas hablarán – (feminine) they will speak
• ustedes hablarán – (formal, plural) you will speak

That’s it! The conjugation is now complete. That’s the final result:

yo	hablaré	I will speak
tú	hablarás	you will speak
él/ella/usted	hablará	he/she/it will speak
nosotros/nosotras	hablaremos	we will speak
