Future Tense Basics

The form 'irá' tells you that a singular subject (he, she, or formal you) will definitely perform an action at a later time.

Implied Subject

In Spanish, the subject (él, ella, usted) is often left out because 'irá' clearly tells you who is doing the action.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if 'irá' means 'will go' or 'will turn out'?

You can tell by the context. If 'irá' is followed by 'a' and a place (e.g., 'irá al parque'), it means physical movement. If it is followed by an adverb like 'bien' or 'mal' (e.g., 'irá mal'), it means the outcome or result.

What is the difference between 'irá' and 'va'?

'Irá' is the future tense (will go), used for things happening later. 'Va' is the present tense (goes/is going), used for things happening now or sometimes for very near future plans.
