💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Structure

To form the future tense, you usually add the specific endings (-é, -ás, -á, etc.) directly onto the infinitive verb ('traer').

Traer vs. Llevar

Use 'traeré' (I will bring) when the action moves toward the speaker. Use 'llevaré' (I will take) when the action moves away from the speaker.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using 'Llevar' incorrectly

Mistake: "¿Qué llevarás a mi casa mañana?"

Correction: ¿Qué traerás a mi casa mañana? ('Llevar' means taking something away from yourself, 'traer' means bringing it to the destination/speaker.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'traeré' irregular in the future tense?

While the verb 'traer' is highly irregular in many tenses (like the preterite 'traje'), the future form 'traeré' is formed regularly by adding the future ending to the full infinitive stem 'traer-'. This makes it easier to remember than some other irregular verbs like 'hacer' or 'decir'.

How do I know when to use 'traeré' (future) versus 'voy a traer' (near future)?

Both mean 'I will bring,' but 'voy a traer' (I am going to bring) is used more often in casual, everyday conversation for plans happening very soon. 'Traeré' is perfect for more distant plans or when you want to sound slightly more formal.
