Learn how to conjugate Spanish verbs, like 'dormir' (to sleep) in the future tense.

Grammar - Conjugating - IR Verbs in the Future Tense (Part 1)

In this Spanish Difficult Review quiz you will begin to conjugate IR verbs in the future tense. As you learned in the previous AR future tense quiz series, future tense verbs, for the most part, consist of the base form of the verb with the future tense verb endings added to them. However, in the ER future tense quiz series you learned that some verbs are irregular in the future tense. This means that their base form changes prior to adding on the future tense verb endings.

As a quick review, the AR future tense verb endings are: é, ás, á, emos, éis, án while the ER future tense verb endings are: é, ás, á, emos, éis, án. Whoops, they are the same! Okay then. Now let’s take a look at the IR future tense verb endings.

The last answer reads: I will sleep. It is not the proper pronoun verb tense. The second answer reads: he will sleep.
