Grammar - Future

In Spanish, the future has the same function as the future in English - to state things that will happen. Its use is equal to verbs ending in -ar, -er and -ir for regular verbs.

Example:

Verb	Hablar	Comer	Vivir
yo	hablar - é	comer - é	viver - é
tu	hablar - ás	comer - ás	viver - ás
el/usted	hablar - á	comer - á	viver - á
nosotros	hablar - emos	comer - emos	viver - emos
vosotros	hablar - éis	comer - éis	viver - éis
ellos/ustedes	hablar - án	comer - án	viver - án

There are some irregular verbs that have different conjugations in the future for the first person - yo:

venir: vendr - é
tener: tendr - é
poner: pondr - é
salir: saldr - é
poder: podr - é
hacer: har - é
querer: querr - é

Functions

To express a plan for soon realization you need to use ir a + infinitivo. Example: Voy a visitar mi amigo. This means I'll leave to visit my friend soon, maybe in the next hour.

Realization decided

To express that a plan is really going to happen you need to use pensar + infinitivo. Example: Penso visitar mi amigo. This means I will, but maybe in weekend, maybe next week.
