Today we’re going to look at how to conjugate regular verbs in the future tense, which is the same for ar, er, and ir verbs. In this case, we add the conjugation to the infinitive, instead of cutting off part of the infinitive like in other verb tenses.

This verb tense is used in the same way that we use “will” in English (i.e. I will go, she will cook, etc).

Let’s use the verb “ter” (to have) as an example.

Eu: terei        [ee-ew teh-ray]

Você/Ela/Ele: terá          [voh-say/eh-lah/eh-lee teh-rah]

Nós: teremos       [nois teh-reh-moose]

Vocês/Eles/Elas: terão        [voh-say-s/eh-leez/eh-lahs teh-reh-ow]

Let’s see how to apply this tense:

Teremos que ir no hospital. We will have to go to the hospital.

Ele jogará no próximo jogo. He will play in the next game.

Irei fazer o dever de casa. I will do my homework.
