The one-word future

Spanish has a second future: a single word, like viajaré (I will travel) or será (it will be). For everyday plans, ir a + infinitive is more common. The one-word future sounds firmer and more formal: it's the future of promises, predictions, weather forecasts, the news and formal emails — ¡Volveré! (I'll be back!).

It's easy to form: take the whole infinitive and add the endings — the same for -ar, -er and -ir verbs:

Pronoun Ending Viajar Ser Ir
yo -é viajaré seré iré
tú -ás viajarás serás irás
él / ella / usted -á viajará será irá
nosotros -emos viajaremos seremos iremos
vosotros -éis viajaréis seréis iréis
ellos / ellas / ustedes -án viajarán serán irán

Every form except nosotros carries a written accent.
