The future is one of the simplest Spanish tenses. There is only one set of endings and most verbs – even those which are irregular in the present tense – use their infinitive as the root of the conjugation.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could plan a perfect future? Too bad that’s not what the future perfect tense does. The grammatical term “perfect” means “completed,” so the future perfect is used to talk about something that will have happened or will have been completed at some point in the future.

The future perfect is a compound verb formed with the future of the auxiliary verb haber + the past participle of the main verb.
The Spanish future progressive is very similar to its English counterpart (will be + -ing). In both languages, the future progressive expresses an action that will be in progress at a certain point in the future.

In English, we use the modal “will” plus a verb to talk about actions that will take place in the future, but in Spanish there’s a future tense with a full set of conjugations for every verb. The uses of these two constructions are very similar.

There are a number of Spanish verbs which are regular in all but the first person singular. These are known as “g verbs” or “yo go verbs” because the first person singular requires an unexpected g.
The English gerund is the -ing form of the verb. In Spanish, it’s the –ndo form.
