    Study Notes

    Immediate Future Tense

    • The immediate future tense is formed using the formula: IR + a + Infinitive
    • It is used to indicate a definite intention or plan, especially in relation to an event in the near future
    • It is equivalent to the English "going to" form

    Conjugation

    • Yo: voy a + Infinitive (e.g. Yo voy a estudiar)
    • Tú: vas a + Infinitive (e.g. Tú vas a leer)
    • Él/Ella/Usted: va a + Infinitive (e.g. Él va a aprender)
    • Nosotros/as: vamos a + Infinitive (e.g. Nosotros vamos a salir)
    • Vosotros/as: vais a + Infinitive (e.g. Vosotros vais a comer)
    • Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes: van a + Infinitive (e.g. Ellos van a viajar)

    Examples

    • Ella va a estar aquí esta Navidad. (She is going to be here this Christmas)
    • Creo que va a llover. (I think it is going to rain)
    • Voy a levantarme/Me voy a levantar a las ocho mañana. (I am going to get up at 8 o'clock tomorrow)

    Using the Present Tense

    • The present tense can also be used to express a planned, perhaps scheduled, near future intention
    • Examples:
      • Mañana el jefe discute los planes en la reunión. (Tomorrow the boss will discuss the plans at the meeting)
      • El vuelo sale a las siete. (The flight will leave at seven o'clock)

    Reflexive Verbs

    • There are two ways to use reflexive verbs in the immediate future tense:
      • Move the reflexive pronoun to the front of the conjugated verb (e.g. Me voy a levantar a las ocho de la mañana)
      • Leave the reflexive pronoun at the end of the infinitive (e.g. Voy a levantarme a las ocho de la mañana)
