Future Tense
Vocabulary
1) tomar - to take / to eat / to drink
2) volver - to return
3 terminar - to finish
4) comer - to eat
This tense has no differences among "AR", "ER" and "IR" verbs. The future (and conditional) tense do not remove the endings of the verb. We keep the "AR", "ER", or "IR" at the end of each verb and add the following below.
| Verb | tomar | volver | elegir |
| (yo) | tomaré | volveré | elegiré |
| (tú) | tomarás | volverás | elegirás |
| (él/ella/Vd.) | tomará | volverá | elegirá |
| (nosotros) | tomaremos | volveremos | elegiremos |
| (vosotros) | tomaréis | volveréis | elegiréis |
| (ellos/Vds.) | tomarán | volverán | elegirán |
This is the last of the three time tenses: the future. We include the word "will" to all conjugations of a verb. We will conjugate elegir: elegiré - I will elect, elegirás - you will elect, elegirá - he/she/it will elect, elegiremos - we willl elect, elegiréis - you guys will elect, and elegirán - they will elect.

Conditional Tense
This tense is conjugated similarly to the future tense (thus why it is included with the future tense), however, its meaning is different.
| Verb | tomar | volver | elegir |
| (yo) | tomaría | volvería | elegiría |
| (tú) | tomarías | volverías | elegirías |
| (él/ella/Vd.) | tomaría | volvería | elegiría |
| (nosotros) | tomaríamos | volveríamos | elegiríamos |
| (vosotros) | tomaríais | volveríais | elegiríais |
| (ellos/Vds.) | tomarían | volverían | elegirían |
The word "would" is included when conjugating a verb (instead of "will"). Here are the conjugations of tomar: tomaría - I would drink, tomarías - you would drink, tomaría - he/she/it would drink, tomaríamos - we would drink, tomaríamos - you guys would drink, and tomarían - they would drink.
