【英文版西语语法】Simple future irregular and stem changing forms

 The simple future has both regular forms and irregular forms. Let's learn about the irregular forms now!

 

The simple future has relatively few irregular verbs, and they fall into three distinct categories:

 

those that dro the e or i from the infinitive ending and add a d

those that simply dro the e or i from the infinitive ending

those that don't follow any predictable pattern and must simply be memorized

Forms that dro the e or i from the Infinitive Ending and Add a d

 

only -er and -ir verbs fall into this category. To form the future with verbs in this category, simply remove the e or i from the infinitive ending, add a d, then add the simple future endings.

Irregular stems

 

The verbs 

decir

hacer

 

 (to make/do) have irregular stems that must be memorized. Verbs that have either of these two verbs as their root, such as 

predecir

 

 (to predict) and 

rehacer

 

(to redo), follow the same conjugation patters as decir and hacer in the simple future.
