Key learning points

  1. To form the inflectional future tense of regular verbs in the singular, add the endings -é, -ás, -á to the infinitive.
  2. The verb stems of 'saber', 'querer' and 'venir' in the inflectional future are 'sabr-', 'querr-' and 'vendr-'.
  3. To form the inflectional future tense of regular verbs in the plural, add -emos, -éis, -án to the infinitive.
  4. To form comparatives in Spanish, use 'más' or 'menos' + adjective + 'que'.
  5. 'Más de' means 'more than' when followed by a number.

Keywords

  • Inflectional future - verb tense used to express what will happen

  • Infinitive - form of the verb giving its general meaning, with no subject or tense

Common misconception

'More than' is always translated as 'más que'.

'More than' can be translated as 'más que' or 'más de'. 'Más de' is followed by numbers.
