How to translate Futuro to English

Notice that the phrases in English 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.

Step by step instructions

Futuro belongs to the simple tenses group, which means that all of its 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 andar has an entirely regular conjugation in the Futuro tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that this verb simply follows the general rules for its conjugation group (-ar) without any 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 andar 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. Notice the colors and shapes of the letters. It will help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings. Add the regular ending -é for the first person singular to create andaré:

• yo andaré – I will walk

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

• tú andarás – you will walk

And exactly as previously add the regular ending -á for the third person singular to create andará:

• él andará – he will walk
• ella andará – she will walk
• usted andará – (formal) you will walk

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

• nosotros andaremos – we will walk
• nosotras andaremos – (feminine) we will walk

Similarly add the regular ending -éis for the second person plural to create andaréis:

• vosotros andaréis – (plural) you will walk
• vosotras andaréis – (feminine, plural) you will walk

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

• ellos andarán – they will walk
• ellas andarán – (feminine) they will walk
• ustedes andarán – (formal, plural) you will walk

Hurray! The conjugation is now finished. That’s the final result:

yo	andaré	I will walk
tú	andarás	you will walk
