Querer (to want) · Future
By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated
Querer in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo querré, tú querrás, él/ella/usted querrá, nosotros/as querremos, vosotros/as querréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes querrán. The future of querer uses the irregular contracted stem 'querr-' (note the DOUBLE 'r'!). 'Querré' = 'I will want'. The future also expresses conjecture or polite questioning about wanting.

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.
