Italian, renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, is a language that continues to captivate learners around the world. Whether planning a trip to Italy, pursuing academic interests, or simply wanting to broaden your linguistic horizons, mastering the Italian language is invaluable.
This comprehensive guide will delve into a fundamental aspect of Italian grammar: The future tense. It will help you understand Italian verb conjugation, future tense forms, and how to express probability and hypothetical situations and use time expressions, as well as provide various exercises to enhance your communication skills.
An event expressed in the futuro anteriore has yet to occur when the sentence is uttered (i.e., at the moment of utterance). It is, however, determined earlier than the reference moment of when Chiara will awaken.
Mastering the Italian future tense is a significant step toward fluency in this beautiful language. It opens the door to confidently expressing future actions, probability, and hypothetical situations.

While the future perfect tense is part of standard Italian, most Italians tend to use other workarounds to avoid using it, especially in conversation. One such common alternative is: dopo + past infinitive, like in this example:

There are several irregular verbs in the future. The irregularities lie in the stem (the middle part of the verb), not the ending. Once you learn the first stem change in the io form, you can easily derive the other forms. Some verbs, like essere seem very irregular; others like fare, perhaps ever so slightly. Below are a few examples. For a more extensive list of irregular verb conjugations, scroll down a little further. In this bigger chart, only the io forms are provided. Once you see the irregular changes in the io form, you should have no problem deriving the other forms as well.
There is another future tense called the futuro anteriore, (or future perfect). This tense is used to describe a future action which will be completed by the time a second future action occurs. It is a compound tense like the passato prossimo, formed by conjugating essere or avere in the future and then adding the past participle of the main verb. It is commonly used with dopo che, quando, and appena.
To get right to it: there are two kinds of future. There's the simple future which, as its name suggests, is simply used when something is in the future. Then there is the future perfect, which is a tiny bit more complex. This is the I-will-have-done type of future.
As you'll see, you can get started with the Italian future tenses quickly as the rules are straightforward for the most part. So by the end of this post, you'll be all set to talk about upcoming events and make future plans with your Italian buddies!

To conjugate any regular verb in this tense, take the stem (or root) of the verb (remove -are, -ere or -ire) and add the endings you find in the table below, depending on who the subject is.
I know, I know: there are so many endings! One for every subject! But if you look closely, you will see that the endings of -are and -ere verbs are the same, while the endings of -ire verbs differ only in the vowel (e becomes i).
A number of -ere verbs drop their vowel altogether, following the irregular conjugation of avere. The very common verb andare belongs to this group (note that this is actually a -are verb), as do other common verbs such as vedere, dovere, potere, sapere, vivere, cadere.
First you finish your homework, then you eat. In our sentence, the action of finishing your homework happens before the action of eating, so we will introduce this action with the futuro anteriore tense.
The futuro anteriore is also used to make assumptions, just like the simple Italian future tense. In this case, we will use it to introduce an action that we think probably happened in the past, as in:

To create the same kind of structure, but talking about the past tense, we can use the futuro anteriore, (future perfect) which is formed by the future of auxiliary verbs essere (to be) or avere (to have), followed by the past participle of the main verb.
In both languages, there are three main conjugations. The infinitive endingsare -are, -ere and -ire in Italian, and-ar, -er and -ir in Spanish.Present:Examples of present tense conjugations of regular Italian verbs areas follows:ParlareVenderePartire1st pn sg.parlovendoparto2nd pn sg.parlivendiparti3rd pn sg.parlavendeparte1st pn pl.parliamovendiamopartiamo2nd pn pl.parlatevendetepartite3rd pn pl.parlanovendonopartono
The equivalent is Spanish is:HablarVenderPartir1st pn sg.hablovendoparto2nd pn sg.hablasvendespartes3rd pn sg.hablavendeparte1st pn pl.hablamosvendemospartimos2nd pn pl.hablisvendisparts3rd pn pl.hablanvendenparten
Again, there are obvious similarities. The main difference is that allItalian finite forms end in a vowel, but in Spanish this does not hold.Imperfect:This tense is extremely simple in Italian; it basicallyinvolves the insertion of the letter 'v':ParlareVenderePartire1st pn sg.parlavovendevopartivo2nd pn sg.parlavivendevipartivi3rd pn sg.parlavavendevapartiva1st pn pl.parlavamovendevamopartivamo2nd pn pl.parlavatevendevatepartivate3rd pn pl.parlavanovendevanopartivano
Spanish is similar, except that it involves the addition of 'b' in the firstconjugation and '' in the second and third conjugations:HablarVenderPartir1st pn sg.hablabavendaparta2nd pn sg.hablabasvendaspartas3rd pn sg.hablabavendaparta1st pn pl.hablbamosvendamospartamos2nd pn pl.hablabaisvendaispartais3rd pn pl.hablabanvendanpartan
Note that Spanish does not make a distinction between the first and thirdperson singular here.Simple past:The simple past is called the passato remoto in Italian and thepretrito in Spanish. The regular forms in Italian are:ParlareVenderePartire1st pn sg.parlaivendeipartii2nd pn sg.parlastivendestipartisti3rd pn sg.parlvendpart1st pn pl.parlammovendemmopartimmo2nd pn pl.parlastevendestepartiste3rd pn pl.parlaronovenderonopartirono
The regular forms in Spanish are:HablarVenderPartir1st pn sg.hablvendpart2nd pn sg.hablastevendistepartiste3rd pn sg.hablvendiparti1st pn pl.hablamosvendimospartimos2nd pn pl.hablasteisvendisteispartisteis3rd pn pl.hablaranvendieronpartieron
There are some clear similarities in the verb endings. However, in both languagesthere are many irregularities, and in the case of Italian there are evenalternative forms for some verbs. The usage of the simple past also differs fromone language to another. In the North of Italy, it is rarely used, and is reservedmainly for formal written language. Northern Italians tend to prefer the perfect tense(see below). In Spanish, however, it is used extremely frequently, as indeed inEnglish. For example, 'I did the shopping yesterday' would beho fatto la spesa ieri (perfect tense) in (Northern) Italian, butfui de compras ayer (simple past tense) in Spanish.Future:Here is the future tense in Italian:ParlareVenderePartire1st pn sg.parlervenderpartir2nd pn sg.parleraivenderaipartirai3rd pn sg.parlervenderpartir1st pn pl.parleremovenderemopartiremo2nd pn pl.parleretevenderetepartirete3rd pn pl.parlerannovenderannopartiranno
The basic idea is to add an appropriate (stressed) ending to the infinitive.The same idea applies in Spanish, but the endings are slightly different:HablarVenderPartir1st pn sg.hablarvenderpartir2nd pn sg.hablarsvenderspartirs3rd pn sg.hablarvenderpartir1st pn pl.hablaremosvenderemospartiremos2nd pn pl.hablarisvenderispartiris3rd pn pl.hablarnvendernpartirn
Both languages use the future tense less frequently than in English, witha preference for the present tense.Care must be taken when producing statements such as 'when you come,I will pay you'. Here, English uses the present tense for the first clauseand the future for the second. In Italian, the two tenses must be the same;either both present (quando vieni, ti pago) or both future(quando verrai, ti pagher). Spanish on the other handfollows English, except that the first verb must be in the subjunctive:cuando vengas, te pagar.Conditional:Finally, the conditional tense. In Italian:ParlareVenderePartire1st pn sg.parlereivendereipartirei2nd pn sg.parlerestivenderestipartiresti3rd pn sg.parlerebbbevenderebbepartirebbe1st pn pl.parleremmovenderemmopartiremmo2nd pn pl.parlerestevenderestepartireste3rd pn pl.parlerebberovenderebberopartirebbero
As with the future tense, the basic idea is to add an appropriate ending to theinfinitive. The same idea applies in Spanish, but the endings in Spanishare easier to remember because they resemble the imperfect endings:HablarVenderPartir1st pn sg.hablaravenderapartira2nd pn sg.hablarasvenderaspartiras3rd pn sg.hablaravenderapartira1st pn pl.hablaramosvenderamospartiramos2nd pn pl.hablaraisvenderaispartirais3rd pn pl.hablaranvenderanpartiran.Last updated December 2016 by Adam N.
