Planes y Decisiones - Plans, Advice, Polite Requests

What you'll learn

• The futuro simple — one set of endings glued onto the infinitive: hablaré, comeré, viviré
• The ten irregular futuro stems: tendré, haré, podré, pondré, saldré, vendré, diré, querré, sabré, habré
• The condicional for politeness, advice and wishes — me gustaría, podría, debería
• Real conditionals with si + present — si tengo tiempo, voy
• Making, confirming and rescheduling plans with quedar

Why it matters

This module turns the lens forward: predictions, promises, plans, polite requests. The futuro and the condicional share more than half their grammar, so learn the endings and the irregular stems once and the second tense comes free.

The bigger payoff is social. Spaniards rarely say quiero to a waiter — they say quería un café, por favor. The condicional is the politeness layer of the language, and once you have it you stop sounding blunt.

Before you start

Module 11 — ser and estar with adjectives, reflexive emotion verbs, and reaction phrases. You'll also want ir + a + infinitivo from Module 7.
