41. Future Tense

Source: A Complete Guide To Every Fundamental In Spanish (The Conclusion)

The simple future tense expresses what will happen. Spanish keeps the full infinitive and adds one of six endings — the same set for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs.

Key Rules

Take the infinitive (do not drop the ending) and add: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án.
All endings carry an accent except the nosotros form (-emos).
Stem-changes don't affect the future of regular verbs.
A small set of verbs use irregular stems with the same endings: decir → dir-, hacer → har-, poder → podr-, poner → pondr-, querer → querr-, saber → sabr-, salir → saldr-, tener → tendr-, venir → vendr-, haber → habr-.
Object pronouns and no go before the conjugated future form: Yo te lo daré.
Alternative: ir a + infinitive (Voy a comer) expresses the near future and is more common in conversation.

Nosotros aprenderemos español mañana.	We will learn Spanish tomorrow.
Ellos vendrán si quieren.	They will come if they want.
Yo te lo daré.	I will give it to you.
Él se bañará.	He will take a bath.
¿Qué harás mañana?	What will you do tomorrow?
Nosotros saldremos pronto.	We will leave soon.
Yo iré a la escuela.	I will go to the school.
Yo voy a ir a la escuela.	I am going to go to the school.

Notes & Gotchas

Use tener for ages: tendrá 30 años (not será).
Ir a + infinitive (voy a + verb) is the easier "future" replacement and very common.
The simple future can also express probability/conjecture in the present: ¿Dónde estará? (Where could he be?).
Don't drop the accent on -é, -ás, -á, -éis, -án — it's required.
