Let\u00b4s see first if you remember how to conjugate the verb To go \u2013 El verbo Ir &#8211; in Present Tense. I will say a person (yo, t\u00fa, \u00e9l, etc) and I would like you to try to conjugate the verb correctly: (For example: Ellos \u2013 Van)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ella<br \/>\nNosotros<br \/>\nUsted<br \/>\nVosotros<br \/>\nYo<br \/>\nEllos<br \/>\nT\u00fa<br \/>\nUstedes<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Now, let\u00b4s see if you understand these sentences in the Spanish future tense:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vamos a comer en la casa de mi abuela.<br \/>\n\u00bfVas  a estudiar ahora?<br \/>\nMi hermano va a trabajar ma\u00f1ana.<br \/>\n\u00bfVais a salir esta noche?<br \/>\nVoy a ver la televisi\u00f3n luego.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Next, try to construct the following sentences in Spanish using the Spanish future tense structure: Ir + a + infinitive:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am going to cook.<br \/>\nWe are going to visit Ana.<br \/>\nAre you coming with us? (one person\/friendly)<br \/>\nOur sister is working on Sunday.<br \/>\nThey are going to the beach tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Tell me now what these various useful phrases mean in Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1s tarde<br \/>\nEsta tarde<br \/>\nEste fin de semana<br \/>\nPasado ma\u00f1ana<br \/>\nLa semana que viene<br \/>\nEl pr\u00f3ximo mes<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, tell me if these Spanish sentences are in the present or future tense:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vamos a la playa los s\u00e1bados.<br \/>\nVoy a escuchar m\u00fasica esta tarde<br \/>\nEllos van a comprar libros luego.<br \/>\n\u00bfVas a la casa de tus padres todos los domingos?<br \/>\nVoy a Alicante a menudo.<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>As you see, it is quite easy to talk about the future in Spanish. Make sure you remember to add the preposition \u201ca\u201d after the conjugation of El verbo Ir. Also bear in mind that when a native speaker talks you might not hear the \u201ca\u201d clearly, but it will be there. For example, if you want to say that you are going to eat, you will say \u201cvoy a comer\u201d but a native speaker won\u00b4t separate the words so clearly and will say \u201cvoya comer\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Nos vemos pronto con m\u00e1s clases de espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
