Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'volveremos' the same as 'vamos a volver'?

They both mean 'we will return,' but 'volveremos' (simple future) is generally used for more formal statements, promises, or events farther in the future. 'Vamos a volver' (near future) is more common in casual conversation, especially when the return is happening very soon.

How do I say 'We returned' (in the past)?

You would use the preterite form: 'volvimos'. For example, 'Ayer volvimos del viaje' (Yesterday we returned from the trip).
