Frequently Asked Questions
How is 'esperaremos' different from 'esperamos'?
'Esperaremos' is the future tense ('we will wait/hope'). 'Esperamos' is the present tense and can mean either 'we wait now' or, sometimes, 'we hope' (present intention). If you are talking about something definitely happening later, use 'esperaremos'.
Does 'esperar' always require the personal 'a'?
Only when you are waiting for a specific person or pet. If you are waiting for a bus, a package, or an event, you do not use the 'a': 'Esperaremos el tren' (We will wait for the train).
