Step 2 · Grammar

futuro simple: tendré, haré, podré…

Special stems

The endings are the same as in lesson 91: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Only the stem changes:

infinitive	stem	yo
tener	tendr-	tendré
poner	pondr-	pondré
salir	saldr-	saldré
venir	vendr-	vendré
poder	podr-	podré
saber	sabr-	sabré
hacer	har-	haré
decir	dir-	diré

Tener → tendré, tendrás, tendrá, tendremos, tendréis, tendrán. The others work the same way.

Habrá

Hay in the future is habrá, one form for singular and plural: ¿Habrá mucha gente? Habrá dos trenes. — “there will be”.

La próxima vez

La próxima vez — “next time”: La próxima vez lo haré mejor.

Mañana tendré tiempo. — I'll have time tomorrow.

La próxima vez lo haré mejor. — Next time I'll do it better.

¿Habrá mucha gente? — Will there be a lot of people?

No podré ir el sábado. — I won't be able to go on Saturday.

Saldremos a las ocho. — We'll leave at eight.
