Enlace

These are the exercises suggested the last class:
Write sentences in future tense, use the following verbs, and follow the example:

Venir (to come) Yo vendré el lunes
Tener / caber / poner / querer / saber / valer / decir / haber

Infinitive VerbSentence
Tener (to have)Yo tendré un carro
Poner (to put)Ella pondrá la mesa
Caber (to fit)Ustedes cabrán en esa camioneta
querer (to want)Tú querrás torta
-----------------
Saber (to know)Yo sabré la dirección
Valer (to worth)Eso valdrá mucho más
Decir(to say)Ustedes dirán sus apellidos
HaberHabrá comida en la reunión
-----------------

Let’s do a review about the present, past and future tense verbs in Spanish.

Spanish Infinitive verb ending in –ar

Amar

PresentPastFuture

| Yo amo | Yo amé | Yo amaré |
| Tú amas | Tú amaste | Tú amarás |
| Ella, él ama | Ella, él amó | Ella, él amará |
| Nosotros amamos | Nosotros amamos | Nosotros amaremos |
| Ustedes aman | Ustedes amaron | Ustedes amarán |
| Ellos, ellas aman | Ellos, ellas amaron | Ellos, ellas amarán |

Notice that the person ‘nosotros’ in present and past, is the same conjugation and ending. How can I know when it is in present or past? The context will tell you or specific words as adverbs of time. Example:

Para la fiesta de Andrea, Nosotros cocinamos unos deliciosos pasteles.

This sentence could be ambiguous but take into account the context: If Andrea’s party was in the past, it’s obvious that the sentences is in past. If Andrea’s party will be later. The sentence is in present.

Cocinamos como unos expertos.

This sentence is in present tense. It’s an habitual action. Now pay attention:

Ayer, Cocinamos como unos expertos.

Ayer’ refers to the past, it’s an adverb. So the sentence is in past tense.

Spanish Infinitive verb ending in –er

Comer

presentpastfuture

| Yo como | Yo comí| Yo comeré |
| Tú comes | Tú comiste| Tú comerás |
| Ella, él come | Ella, él com | Ella, él comerá |
| Nosotros comemos | Nosotros comimos| Nosotros comeremos |
| Ustedes comen | Ustedes comieron | Ustedes comerán |
| Ellos, ellas comen | Ellos, ellas comieron| Ellos, ellas comerán |

Spanish Infinitive verb ending in –ir

Vivir

presentpastfuture

| Yo vivo | Yo viví | Yo viviré |
| Tú vives | Tú viviste | Tú vivirás |
| Ella, él vive | Ella, él vivió | Ella, él vivirá |
| Nosotros vivimos | Nosotros vivíamos | Nosotros viviremos |
| Ustedes viven | Ustedes vivieron | Ustedes vivirán |
| Ellos, ellas viven | Ellos, ellas vivieron | Ellos, ellas vivirán |

These are conjugation of regular verbs. Let´s practice: read the following statements underline the verbs and say the tense, for example:
Mi madre trabaja en ese restaurant.
Mi madre trabaja en ese restaurante (present)

  1. Mary estudiará medicina
  2. Yo manejé la bicicleta
  3. La gente camina por todas las calles
  4. Entregaré la carta a Roberto
  5. Ese hombre escribe con su boca
  6. Dibujamos varios paisajes ayer
  7. Compraremos una casa en Barcelona.
  8. Ganaron la competencia
  9. Yo limpio toda la casa
  10. Ella cocinó un rico pastel de chocolate
