How to translate Futuro to English

Note 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 use of tenses.

There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in Spanish language, where each inflected form consists of two words.The verb parecer has an almost completely regular conjugation in the Futuro tense of the Indicativo mood. An exception is the first person singular, which has an irregular form. It means that the other persons simply follow the general rules for this conjugation group (-er) without further exceptions, spelling corrections and the like. 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 parecer in each person.

• tú parecerás – you will seem

Once more add the regular ending -á for the third person singular to create parecerá:

• él parecerá – he will seem

• usted parecerá – (formal) you will seem

As before add the regular ending -emos for the first person plural to create pareceremos:

• nosotros pareceremos – we will seem
• nosotras pareceremos – (feminine) we will seem

Again add the regular ending -éis for the second person plural to create pareceréis:

• vosotros pareceréis – (plural) you will seem
• vosotras pareceréis – (feminine, plural) you will seem

And once more add the regular ending -án for the third person plural to create parecerán:

• ellos parecerán – they will seem
• ellas parecerán – (feminine) they will seem
• ustedes parecerán – (formal, plural) you will seem
