How do I form the future tense of a verb?

The future is one of the best tenses to learn as its endings are the same for all 3 types of verbs. Firstly, you must find the infinitive of the verb you want to use, which in English is the 'to' form of the verb, which is the form of the verb which has an -AR, -ER or -IR ending. Unlike other tenses, for the future tense you don't have to remove the AR/ER/IR endings to conjugate the verb, but rather add the endings to the infinitive form of the verb. Using the verb hablar (to speak), the future tense endings are as follows: I will speak - hablaré, you will speak - hablarás, he/she/it will speak - hablará, we will speak - hablaremos, you (plural) will speak - hablaréis, they will speak - hablarán. All regular verbs use these same endings to form the future tense.
