LingoflyThe one-word future: viajaré, saldrá
The future can also be said in one word: the futuro simple. The endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án hook onto the whole infinitive: viajaré, comeré, viviré. It fits distant plans, promises and forecasts: el vuelo saldrá a las diez. For example: “El vuelo saldrá con dos horas de retraso” — The flight will leave with a two-hour delay. A rule from the Spanish course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
