Irregular Future Tense

The future tense of 'salir' is irregular. Instead of using the full infinitive 'salir,' it uses the special stem 'saldr-' before adding the future endings.

Preposition 'De'

When talking about leaving a specific location, 'salir' is always followed by the preposition 'de' (of/from): 'saldrás de la oficina' (you will leave the office).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the wrong future stem

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'saldrás' irregular?

The future tense of 'salir' is irregular because it shortens the verb's root from 's-a-l-i-r' to 's-a-l-d-r' before adding the future endings. This change makes it easier and faster to pronounce, which is a common pattern for high-frequency Spanish verbs.

How do I know if 'saldrás' means 'leaving' or 'dating'?

Context is key! If it is followed by 'de' (e.g., 'saldrás de la casa'), it means leaving. If it is followed by 'con' and a person (e.g., 'saldrás con Juan'), it usually means dating or going out with someone socially.
