The future subjunctive is supposed to be used in Spanish when a verb or expression requiring the subjunctive in the main clause is in the present or future and refers to a future action. However, the future subjunctive is becoming obsolete, it tends to be replaced by the present subjunctive. The Spanish future subjunctive may still be found in writing, such as literature and and legal documents. The future subjunctive is conjugated much like the -RA form of the imperfect subjunctive: take the third person plural preterite form of any regular, irregular, or stem-changing verb, drop the -RON ending to find the radical, and add the appropriate ending: future subjunctive endings yo -re nosotros -remos tú -res vosotros -reis él -re ellos -ren for example... yo hablare nosotros habláremos tú hablares vosotros hablareis él hablare ellos hablaren TENER yo tuviere nosotros tuviéremos tú tuvieres vosotros tuviereis él tuviere ellos tuvieren Notes:
* In the nosotros form, an acute accent is added to the last vowel in the radical. |
