💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense is Simple
The 'é' ending tells you two things: the action is happening in the future, and the person doing the action is 'yo' (I). It’s the easiest way to talk about future plans.
Expressing Need for Actions
To say 'I will need to do something,' you follow 'necesitaré' immediately with the base form of the second verb (infinitive): 'Necesitaré estudiar más' (I will need to study more).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up Present and Future
Mistake: "Yo necesito un coche mañana."
Correction: Yo necesitaré un coche mañana. (Or: Voy a necesitar...). While 'necesito' is sometimes used, 'necesitaré' is the correct way to clearly express a future need.
⭐ Usage Tips
Shortcuts for the Future
If you are a beginner (A1), you can also express this idea using 'Voy a necesitar' (I am going to need), which is grammatically simpler but means the same thing.
