Now we’ll learn the irregular verbs in the future or “will” tense. Next to the “Back” verbs, the irregular “will” verbs are the easiest to learn. The great thing is that they have the same exact endings as the normal “will” verbs. Let’s review the endings briefly:
ré | remos |
rás | réis |
rá | rán |
Right now, with the verbs you’ve learned, there are 11 irregular “will” verbs. I’ll go over them, then the best way to learn them is to go through the lessons in this section enough until the irregulars start to sound “natural” to you. Our goal is to provide enough practice in this section so the verbs do sound “natural” or “normal” to you.
Let’s take a look at them.
decir | dir | poner | pondr | hacer | har |
poder | podr | tener | tendr | venir | vendr |
querer | querr | valer | valdr | haber | habr |
“valer” is a new verb that means “to be worth” | |||||
saber | sabr | salir | saldr |
This last one, “haber” is from the “have” tense. Remember, the “have” or “present perfect” tense is used when you want to say phrases like “I have eaten” or “I have gone”. In this case, a “future have verb” would be “I will have eaten…” or “I will have gone…” Now, so these verbs will start sounding natural to you, let’s practice the conjugations one at a time with each verb. Are you ready? First, we’ll use the “yo” conjugation. Do you remember what it ends with? …….if you said “é”, you are correct.
I will say | diré | I will put | pondré | I will do/make | haré |
I will be able to | podré | I will have | tendré | I will come | vendré |
I will want to | querré | I will be worth | valdré | I will have | habré |
I will know | sabré | I will leave | saldré |
Now, I need to clarify something for a minute. Did you notice on this list, there is the word “have” twice. The first one, is for phrases like “I will have a house” or “a car”. Or, remember “tener que”? “I will have to go” will be “Tendré que ir”. The second one uses the “have” tense. For example, “I will have eaten” or “She will have gone” or “They will have run” and so forth.
Now let’s move on to the “tú” conjugation. Do you remember what it ends with?
You will say | dirás | You will put | pondrás | You will do/make | harás |
You will be able to | podrás | You will have | tendrás | You will come | vendrás |
You will want to | querrás | You will be worth | valdrás | You will have | habrás |
You will know | sabrás | You will leave | saldrás |
Now onto the “Él, Ella, Ud.” Conjugation. Do you remember what it ends with without looking at the chart?
He/She/You (formal) will say | dirá | He/She/You will put | pondrá | He/She/You will do/make | hará |
He/She/You will be able to | podrá | He/She/You will have | tendrá | He/She/You will come | vendrá |
He/She/You will want to | querrá | He/She/You will be worth | valdrá | He/She/You will have (eaten etc.) | habrá |
He/She/You will know | sabrá | He/She/You will leave | saldrá |
Now onto the “Nosotros” Conjugation. Remember the “nosotros” ending for future tense is “emos”.
We will say | diremos | We will put | pondremos | We will do/make | haremos |
We will be able to | podremos | We will have | tendremos | We will come | vendremos |
We will want to | querremos | We will be worth | valdremos | We will have (eaten etc.) | habremos |
We will know | sabremos | We will leave | saldremos |
Next is the “Vosotros” Conjugation used only in Spain and is the plural form of “tú”. Remember the “vosotros” ending for future tense is “éis”.
You will say | diréis | You will put | pondréis | You will do/make | haréis |
You will be able to | podréis | You will have | tendréis | You will come | vendréis |
You will want to | querréis | You will be worth | valdréis | You will have (eaten etc.) | habréis |
You will know | sabréis | You will leave | saldréis |
Now onto the “Ellos, Ellas, Uds.” Conjugation. Do you remember what it ends with without looking at the chart?
They/You (plural) will say | dirán | They/You (plural) will put | pondrán | They/You (plural) will do/make | harán |
They/You (plural) will be able to | podrán | They/You (plural) will have | tendrán | They/You (plural) will come | vendrán |
