Key learning points
- To form the inflectional future tense of regular verbs in the singular, add the endings -é, -ás, -á to the infinitive.
- The verb stems of 'saber', 'querer' and 'venir' in the inflectional future are 'sabr-', 'querr-' and 'vendr-'.
- To form the inflectional future tense of regular verbs in the plural, add -emos, -éis, -án to the infinitive.
- To form comparatives in Spanish, use 'más' or 'menos' + adjective + 'que'.
- 'Más de' means 'more than' when followed by a number.
Keywords
Inflectional future - verb tense used to express what will happen
Infinitive - form of the verb giving its general meaning, with no subject or tense
Common misconception
'More than' is always translated as 'más que'.
'More than' can be translated as 'más que' or 'más de'. 'Más de' is followed by numbers.
Students can plan their own gap year, but instead of just traveling for fun, they might want to do something meaningful, e.g. volunteering in a Spanish-speaking country. To plan the trip, they can include how many people will participate, projects they will work on, what they will want to do, etc.
