New Year is coming!!
Would you like to talk about your future plans or resolutions for 2023 like a Spanish native? I am sure that the answer is yes! Use the periphrastic future (a grammatical structure that consists of two or more verbs that take a new meaning when used together)and forget about an endless list of verbs. This is a common way of expressing future among the native speakers. You only need to know how to conjugate the verb to go ”ir” in Spanish in the present tense.
Practical and very easy!!
Now that you know to conjugate the verb IR let’s see how to make the structure (perífrasis) in order to talk about future planned actions or actions that will happen soon:
👉 IR + A + INFINITIVO
Example: I am going to eat pizza / Yo voy a comer (infinitive) pizza
Example: He is going to take a shower / Él va a tomar ( infinitive) una ducha
👁️🗨️ Don’t forget the preposition ”a”
Esta tarde va a hacer mucho calor.
As you can see, the structure is equivalent to the ”be going to + infinitive” in English. Any plans for 2023?
