💡 Grammar Points

Talking About the Future

'Iré' is how you say 'I will go'. It comes from the verb 'ir' (to go) and is used to talk about things you will do later. Just put it before where you're going: 'Iré a la playa' (I will go to the beach).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Future vs. Past

Mistake: "Ayer iré al cine."

Correction: Use 'fui' for the past: 'Ayer fui al cine'. 'Iré' is only for the future (will go), while 'fui' is for the past (went).

⭐ Usage Tips

Making a Promise or Quick Decision

You can use 'iré' to make a spontaneous decision or a promise. If someone asks 'Who will help me?', you can respond '¡Yo iré!' (I'll go!).
