Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'empezaremos' and 'vamos a empezar'?

Both mean 'we will start.' 'Empezaremos' is the simple future tense, often used for more formal or definite plans. 'Vamos a empezar' uses the structure 'ir a + infinitive' and is more common in spoken, everyday Spanish to express immediate or near future intentions.

Is the verb 'empezar' irregular in the future tense?

No. Although 'empezar' is irregular (stem-changing) in the Present tense (e.g., 'yo empiezo'), it is perfectly regular in the Future tense. You just attach the future endings to the full infinitive 'empezar'.
