By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated

Comer in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo comeré, tú comerás, él/ella/usted comerá, nosotros/as comeremos, vosotros/as comeréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes comerán. The future of comer is the model regular -er future. The full infinitive 'comer' serves as the stem, then -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án endings — identical to every other regular Spanish verb.

Tip

Working with the future

The simple future ("haré", "tendré") competes with the more conversational "voy a + infinitive" construction in everyday Spanish — the going-to form is more common for near-term plans. The simple future shines in two cases: formal or more distant predictions, and conjecture about the present ("¿qué hora será?" = "what time could it be?"). About 12 high-frequency verbs use contracted future stems (har-, dir-, tendr-, pondr-, vendr-, saldr-, podr-, querr-, sabr-, habr-, valdr-, cabr-); the rest just append future endings to the full infinitive.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate comer in the future?
The future of comer is: yo comeré, tú comerás, él/ella/usted comerá, nosotros/as comeremos, vosotros/as comeréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes comerán. The full infinitive 'comer' serves as the future stem — same predictable pattern as every regular Spanish verb.
Are future endings the same for -ar, -er, -ir verbs?
Yes — the future endings (-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án) are identical across all three conjugation classes. Compare hablaré (-ar), comeré (-er), viviré (-ir). The only differences come from irregular stems: about 12 high-frequency verbs use contracted stems (haré, diré, tendré, etc.) instead of the full infinitive. Comer, like every regular verb, keeps the full infinitive.
When should I use 'comeré' instead of 'voy a comer'?
Both express future eating. 'Comeré' (simple future) feels slightly more formal, more committed, or further in time. 'Voy a comer' (going-to future) is more conversational for near-term plans: 'Esta noche voy a comer pizza' (Tonight I'm going to eat pizza). The simple future also expresses conjecture: '¿Qué comerá Juan?' = 'What could Juan be eating? / I wonder what he'll eat.'
