Introduction
This
post deals with talking about the future
in general, and things you are intending doing tomorrow
in particular.
SCENARIO
Imagine
you are talking to
a relative, a friend or colleague. You are talking about each other's
future
plans. Maybe you are trying to arrange some joint activity. At some
point, the other person wants to know what you are intending doing
tomorrow and
says to you: "what
are you doing tomorrow?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Qué
vas a hacer mañana?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Qué
va a hacer (usted) mañana?
OUR
TIP
Here are some
examples of how you could reply:
- Mañana voy a madrugar (tomorrow I am going to get up early)
- Mañana no voy a trabajar (tomorrow I am not going to work)
- Mañana voy a ver a mi amigo Pedro (tomorrow I am going to see my friend Pedro)
- Mañana por la noche voy a ir a clase de español (tomorrow evening I am going to go to my Spanish lesson)
- Mañana a las cuatro de la tarde voy a ir al médico (tomorrow at 4:00PM I am going to the doctor's)
*Notes
1. Using
the future
tense, as in:
- Mañana madrugaré (tomorrow I will to get up early)
- Mañana no iré a trabajar (tomorrow I will not go to work)
- Mañana iré al cine (tomorrow I will go to the cinema)
2. Using
the verb ir
+ an infinitive,
as in:
- Mañana voy a madrugar (tomorrow I am going to get up early)
- Mañana no voy a ir a trabajar (tomorrow I am not going to go to work)
- Mañana voy a ir al cine (tomorrow I am going to go to the cinema)
3. Using
the present
tense,
as in:
- Mañana madrugo (I am getting up early tomorrow)
- Mañana no voy a trabajar (I not going to work tomorrow)
- Mañana voy al cine (I am going to the cinema tomorrow)
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿Qué
vas a hacer mañana?
