Future tense

Prescribed by the AQA specification.

The short version

The one tense that leaves the infinitive whole

Spanish normally chops the infinitive before adding endings. The future does not: the endings attach to the full infinitive, so comer gives comeré and vivir gives viviré. Twelve verbs swap in an irregular stem, tendr-, har-, podr-, dir- and the rest, but the endings never change.

Te diré la verdad.

I'll tell you the truth.

That's the gist. The full article goes deeper - more examples, the edge cases, the why - and the practice below scores like a vocabulary session and earns the same XP.
