Tomorrow: the future on -é, -às, -à
The future grows out of the verb itself: the ending goes on the whole word. agafar → agafaré — I will take. Then -às, -à, -em, -eu, -an. For example: “Demà agafaré el tren de les huit” — Tomorrow I will take the eight o'clock train. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The future grows out of the verb itself: the ending goes on the whole word. agafar → agafaré — I will take. Then -às, -à, -em, -eu, -an.
Demà agafaré el tren — tomorrow I will take the train. This is the ordinary future, spoken as well as written.
And the trap that catches everyone who started with Spanish. vaig agafar is not tomorrow but yesterday: "I took". For a future you need the a: vaig a agafar — I am going to take.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
