LingoflySimple future and the anar a trap: parlaré, plourà
The future is one, simple: a tail is added to the verb — -ré, -ràs, -rà, -rem, -reu, -ran — parlaré, plourà, anirem. It is the tense of forecasts and timetables: Demà plourà — it will rain tomorrow. For example: “Demà plourà al matí i farà sol a la vesprada” — Tomorrow morning it will rain, and in the afternoon it will be sunny. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The future is one, simple: a tail is added to the verb — -ré, -ràs, -rà, -rem, -reu, -ran — parlaré, plourà, anirem. It is the tense of forecasts and timetables: Demà plourà — it will rain tomorrow.
The frame "voy a" plus a verb for "I'm about to" comes from another language. The Valencian standard doesn't build a future that way. Worse: vaig plus a verb without "a" means the past — vaig néixer el 1994, I was born in 1994. Easy to mix up, and the meaning comes out reversed.
A near intention is said in the present or in this same simple future: Ara cuine — I'm cooking now, Demà t'ho envie — I'll send it tomorrow.
Table
| form | what it means | example |
|---|---|---|
| -ré, -ràs, -rà… | forecast, promise | demà plourà |
| -rem, -reu, -ran | we, you, they (futur) | farà fred aquest cap de setmana |
| present + ara/hui | intention right now | ara cuine |
| vaig + verb (no a) | this is the past, not the future | vaig néixer |
By example
- Tomorrow morning it will rain, and in the afternoon it will be sunny
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.
