Future Tense Action

'Llamaremos' is the future tense (we will call), meaning the action is definitely going to happen later. It's built by adding the future endings to the full infinitive verb ('llamar' + 'emos').

⭐ Usage Tips

Using the Verb 'Hacer' Instead

In informal Spanish, sometimes people use the phrase 'vamos a llamar' (we are going to call) instead of 'llamaremos'. Both mean the same thing, but 'llamaremos' is slightly more direct.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is 'llamaremos' different from 'vamos a llamar'?

Both mean 'we will call.' 'Llamaremos' is the formal simple future tense. 'Vamos a llamar' uses the structure 'ir a + infinitive' and is generally used more often in everyday spoken Spanish for near-future plans. They are interchangeable for most casual conversation.

Does 'llamaremos' sound formal?

No, the future tense is still very common and sounds neutral. It is perfect for making definite plans or promises: 'Mañana, llamaremos al banco' (Tomorrow, we will call the bank).
