💡 Grammar Points
Irregular Future Tense
Even though 'salir' ends in -ir, its future tense is irregular. Instead of adding endings to the whole verb, it uses the stem 'saldr-' (saldrá, saldrás, etc.).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the Regular Stem
Mistake: "El tren *salirá* a tiempo."
Correction: El tren *saldrá* a tiempo. Remember to use the irregular 'saldr-' stem for the future tense of 'salir'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'saldrá' irregular in the future tense?
The future tense of 'salir' is irregular because it shortens the root. Instead of using the full infinitive 'salir-' plus the ending, it uses the shortened stem 'saldr-' to make pronunciation easier and faster. This pattern is common among certain high-frequency verbs.
Can I use 'va a salir' instead of 'saldrá'?
Yes! 'Va a salir' (ir a + infinitive) means 'is going to leave' and is often used in conversational Spanish to talk about the near future. 'Saldrá' (the simple future) is slightly more formal or used for scheduled events.
