💡 Grammar Points
Forming the Future Tense
The Future tense is easy! You just take the whole verb (empezar) and add the ending for 'nosotros' (-emos). This form means a definite future action: 'we will start'.
Action Linker: 'Empezar a'
To say 'we will start doing something,' you must use the little word 'a' before the second verb: 'Empezaremos a estudiar.' (We will start to study).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future vs. Past/Present
Mistake: "Using 'empezamos' when you mean 'we will start.'"
Correction: The form 'empezamos' can mean 'we start' (present) or 'we started' (past). Use 'empezaremos' only for the future, 'we will start'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Planning for Tomorrow
Use 'empezaremos' when discussing plans, commitments, or predictions for future actions involving 'us' (nosotros).

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'.
