(TF) - Grammar Review: El Futuro Lesson

Grammar Review: El Futuro

The future tense is unlike other conjugations in that instead of removing the "-ar," "-er," or "-ir" ending, we're going to use the entire infinitive as our stem. Another difference is that for the first time it doesn't matter what kind of verb you have. Every verb, "-ar," "-er," or "-ir," has the following endings, no exceptions:
