La regla · The rule
B1's first gift, met early: the futuro simple — one word, no ir a needed. Ser gives seré, serás, será, seremos, serán; tener gives tendré, tendrás, tendrá, tendremos, tendrán.
Y también · And also
De grande seré piloto — when I grow up I will be a pilot. Mañana habrá sol — there will be sun. Habrá is the future of hay: one fixed form for singular and plural.
Ojo · Watch out
habrá (there will be) is one fixed form for singular and plural, like hay and había. And every futuro simple carries an accent except the nosotros form: seré, será, but seremos.
ser, futuro — the table
yo seré · tú serás · él/ella/usted será · nosotros seremos · ustedes serán · ellos/ellas serán
tener, futuro — the table
yo tendré · tú tendrás · él/ella/usted tendrá · nosotros tendremos · ustedes tendrán · ellos/ellas tendrán
Do it now — on paper
Say all 7 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with yo seré.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out ser, futuro and tener, futuro in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
