Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'llegaré' considered a regular conjugation?

Even though the base verb 'llegar' has spelling changes in some tenses (like the past), the future tense ('llegaré') is formed perfectly regularly by adding the future endings directly to the infinitive 'llegar' without any stem change.

Can I use 'voy a llegar' instead of 'llegaré'?

Yes! 'Voy a llegar' (I am going to arrive) is the 'near future' and is often more common in casual, spoken Spanish. 'Llegaré' is slightly more formal and precise for a prediction or a plan further out in time.
