The 'We' Form of the Future

'Diremos' is the 'we' form (nosotros) of the future tense, meaning it talks about an action that 'we' plan to do later.

Irregular Stem

Even though the infinitive is 'decir,' the future tense uses the shortened, irregular stem 'dir-' before adding the future endings, like 'diré' and 'diremos'.

Confusing the Stem

Mistake:Using the regular stem: 'Deciremos'

Correction: Use the irregular stem: 'Diremos'. The verb 'decir' is one of the few verbs that changes its root when talking about the future.
