Hacer (to do) · Future
By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated
Hacer in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo haré, tú harás, él/ella/usted hará, nosotros/as haremos, vosotros/as haréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes harán. The future of hacer uses the contracted stem 'har-' (not the full infinitive 'hacer-'). 'Haré' = 'I will do' or 'I will make'. The future is also used for conjecture: '¿Qué hará Juan ahora?' = 'What could Juan be doing now?'

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.
