Use of Future - Entregar  

Theory

Another verb which we can learn which expresses the idea of the transfer of something to someone is "entregar" ("to deliver" or "to hand over"). Let's practice building some sentences using the future of "entregar". We are going to deliver the airline tickets, ("los pasajes") to someone, and we are going to do it in the airport, ("el aeropuerto").

Examples
I will deliver the tickets to you at the airport.
Yo te entregaré los boletos en el aeropuerto.
I will deliver them to you at the airport.
Yo te los entregaré en el aeropuerto.
Will you deliver the tickets to me at the airport?
¿ Me entregarás los boletos en el aeropuerto?
Will you deliver them to me at the airport?
¿ Me los entregarás en el aeropuerto?
Mr. García wants to know if you will deliver the tickets to him at the airport.
El señor García quiere saber si tú le entregarás los boletos en el aeropuerto.

Yo no sé si ellos nos entregarán los boletos en el aeropuerto.
I don't know if they will deliver them to us at the airport.

Theory

There is something that we need to remember about verbs that end in "-gar". Remember that the letter "g" is soft (pronounced like "h" in English) when followed by either "i" or "e". In the case of the verb "entregar", the "g" is followed by "a", so it has the hard pronunciation (like "g" in "go" in English). We want to keep the hard pronunciation in other forms of the verb. Remember that when we have sentences that express "feelings", we change the "a" to "e". In this case, the "g" would be soft like "h" in English, so we add in a silent "u" after the "g" to preserve the hard "g" sound. Let's review a few feeling sentences using "entregar".

Examples
John is going to deliver the tickets to me.
Juan me entregará los boletos.
I hope that John delivers them to me.
Yo espero que Juan me los entregue.
John says that he will deliver them to me tomorrow.
