Using (ir) to express the future

Using (ir) to express the future

In English there are two ways to talk about future events, "I will sleep late tomorrow" and "I'm going to sleep late tomorrow." Similarly in Spanish we can form the future with the verb Soundir (conjugate), which means "go to". When used to talk about the future the verb (ir) means "going to". Sentences are formed using the formula below:

present tense of the verb (ir) + a + infinitive = future

Some example sentences using the future tense are shown below:

SoundYo voy a buscar su carro ahora.
I'm going to search your car now.

SoundTú vas a llegar muy tarde.
You are going to arrive very late.

SoundUsted va a trabajar con Marta.
You're going to work with Marta.

SoundMarta va a estar bien, gracias.
Marta is going to be fine, thanks.

SoundEllas van a bajar del carro.
They're going to get out of the car.
