How to Form the Future Tense of Spanish Verbs:

Today we will talk about how to form the future tense of Spanish verbs. We will focus on how to conjugate these with ar, ir, and er verbs. Unlike the present tense form, the future tense of Spanish verbs indicate an action that will be done in the near future.

él bailará = he will dance

ella bailará = she will dance

usted bailará = you will dance (formal)

nosotros bailaremos = we will dance

ellos bailarán = they will dance (can be males/females or mixed groups)

ellas bailarán = they will dance (only females)

ustedes bailarán = you all will dance (can be a group of males or females or mixed groups)
