Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'moriré' the same as 'me voy a morir'?

They mean the same thing ('I will die'), but 'me voy a morir' (using *ir a* + infinitive) is the 'near future' and is often used in conversational Spanish, just like saying 'I am going to die' in English. 'Moriré' is the simple future, which is more direct and slightly more formal.
