Frequently Asked Questions

Is the verb 'seguir' irregular in the future tense?

No, even though the verb 'seguir' is very irregular in the present tense (sigo, sigues), the future tense ('seguirá,' 'seguiremos,' etc.) is completely regular. You just add the standard future endings to the full infinitive 'seguir'.

How do I know if 'seguirá' means 'will follow' or 'will continue'?

The context usually makes it clear. If it's followed by a noun (seguirá el camino), it means 'will follow.' If it's followed by the -ando/-iendo form of a verb (seguirá estudiando), it means 'will continue' that action.
