Futuro Do Presente

Futuro do presente

This is the correspondent to Future Will in English. Again, in Portuguese, there is no need to use any auxiliary whatsoever. Therefore, the ending of the verb conjugated is what matters and what will define the verb tense. Same way as the other verb tenses studied before.

There is a going to in Portuguese to, we use the verb IR + another verb. This lesson is focusing only in the WILL future.

WATCH OUT: Although we have two similar ways of expressing the future in indicative tenses, Portuguese holds no differences in meaning as it does in English. The future with the verb IR is more informal and a lot used in spoken language.

	SER be	ESTAR Be	TER To have
Eu	SEREI	ESTAREI	TEREI

Remember that SER and ESTAR are main verbs, just like in English, and they are also irregular verbs. Check their writing and you will see they differ from the verb in the infinitive form, its root. Same thing happens with the verb TER.
