Traer in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo traeré, tú traerás, él/ella/usted traerá, nosotros/as traeremos, vosotros/as traeréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes traerán. The future of traer uses a regular future stem (traer- + future endings). Despite traer being irregular in the present and preterite, its future is fully predictable.

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 traer in the future?
The future of traer is regular: yo traeré, tú traerás, él/ella/usted traerá, nosotros/as traeremos, vosotros/as traeréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes traerán. The full infinitive 'traer' serves as the future stem — same predictable pattern as comer (comeré) or beber (beberé).
Why does traer have a regular future when it's irregular elsewhere?
About 12 high-frequency Spanish verbs developed contracted future stems for phonetic economy (haré, diré, tendré, etc.). Traer wasn't one of them — the infinitive 'traer' (two syllables, ending in a vowel) was already easy enough to attach future endings to. Only verbs with awkward consonant clusters or extremely high frequency got contracted stems.
When should I use 'traeré' instead of 'voy a traer'?
Both express future bringing. 'Traeré' (simple future) feels slightly more formal, more committed, or further in time. 'Voy a traer' (going-to future) is more conversational for near-term plans: 'Esta noche voy a traer pizza' (Tonight I'm going to bring pizza). The simple future also expresses conjecture: '¿Qué traerá Juan?' = 'What could Juan be bringing?'
