Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'seguiré' irregular, even though the future tense usually keeps the infinitive intact?
The verb 'seguir' is highly irregular in the present tense (sigo, sigues), but in the future tense ('seguiré'), it is actually quite regular! Unlike verbs like 'hacer' (haré) or 'tener' (tendré), 'seguir' simply adds the future endings to the full infinitive form, 'seguir.' Its irregularity comes from the stem changes (e to i) in other tenses, but not in the future.
How do I know if 'seguiré' means 'follow' or 'continue'?
Look at the word that comes next. If you are 'following' a path, a person, or instructions, it means 'to follow.' If you are 'following' an action (e.g., studying, running, working), it means 'to continue' or 'to keep doing' that action.
