Dar (to give) · Future
By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated
Dar in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo daré, tú darás, él/ella/usted dará, nosotros/as daremos, vosotros/as daréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes darán. The future of dar describes a giving that will happen later, plus conjecture about the present ('le darán el premio, supongo'). Dar uses a regular future stem (dar- + future endings) — the infinitive is too short to contract.

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.
