Frequently Asked Questions
How is 'compraré' different from 'voy a comprar'?
Both mean 'I will buy.' 'Compraré' (simple future) is used for general future plans or predictions. 'Voy a comprar' (periphrastic future, literally 'I go to buy') is used more frequently in everyday speech for immediate or near-future plans, much like 'I am going to buy' in English.
Why does the 'yo' form of the future tense always have an accent mark?
The accent mark is there to show that the stress falls on the final syllable ('-ré'), which is a defining characteristic of the future tense. It helps distinguish it clearly from other forms, like 'compre' (I buy/I may buy).
