Future Tense Formation
The future tense in Spanish is easy! You just add the endings (-é, -ás, -á, etc.) directly to the infinitive form of the verb, even for 'caer'.
The Irregular 'Yo' Form
Remember that the first person singular (yo) of the present tense is irregular: 'yo caigo' (I fall). This 'g' sound carries over to all the special forms (subjunctive).
Confusing 'Caer' and 'Dejar Caer'
Mistake: “Using 'caer' when you mean 'to drop' something intentionally: 'Yo caí el vaso.'”
Correction: Use 'dejar caer' (to let fall) for intentional dropping: 'Yo dejé caer el vaso.' 'Caer' means it falls on its own.
