The Hacer Future Tense in Spanish is an important part of the language. It is used to talk about future events and actions.

¡Hola, amigos! Ready to dive into the fascinating world of Spanish verbs? Today, we’re tackling the “hacer” future tense - a verb that’s as irregular as it is essential. Buckle up, because we’re about to make the future a whole lot clearer!

Formation of Hacer

First things first, let’s witness the metamorphosis of “hacer” in the future tense:

PronounConjugationRemember it as…
yoharé”I’ll make it happen!“
harás”You’ll do it, champ!“
él/ella/ustedhará”She’ll/He’ll/You’ll nail it!“
nosotros/nosotrasharemos”We’ll get it done together!“
vosotros/vosotrasharéis”You all will make it work!“
ellos/ellas/ustedesharán”They’ll/You all will do the thing!”

Notice something peculiar? The stem changes from “hac-” to “har-”. It’s like “hacer” is putting on its futuristic outfit!

Using Hacer

Now, let’s see this verb in action:

  • “Mañana haré la tarea.” (Tomorrow I will do the homework.) Pro tip: Procrastinators, this one’s for you!

  • “¿Qué harás este fin de semana?” (What will you do this weekend?) Perfect for making plans… or avoiding them!

  • “El próximo año haremos un viaje a España.” (Next year we will take a trip to Spain.) Start practicing your “¡Olé!” now!

Tips for Hacer

Stem Change Superhero: Remember, “hac-” transforms into “har-” faster than Clark Kent becomes Superman!

Accent Artistry: Those little lines above the letters? They’re not just for show. Include them to show off your Spanish skills!

Time Travel Practice: Pair “hacer” with time expressions like “mañana” (tomorrow), “la próxima semana” (next week), or “el año que viene” (next year). Your Spanish will sound like it’s from the future!

Common Expressions

Impress your friends with these common expressions:

  • “Lo haré más tarde” (I’ll do it later) The procrastinator’s anthem!

  • “¿Qué haremos ahora?” (What will we do now?) Perfect for when your original plans fall through.

  • “Haré todo lo posible” (I’ll do everything possible) Your new go-to phrase for sounding committed and determined!

The Irregular

“Hacer” isn’t alone in its rebellious future tense behavior. It’s part of an exclusive club with other verbs like “tener” (tendr-) and “salir” (saldr-). They’re the cool kids of Spanish verbs - breaking rules and taking names!

Here’s the content for those sections:

Common Mistakes to Watch Out For

When learning the hacer future tense, even advanced Spanish learners can stumble. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid:

  1. The “Haceré” Trap
  • ❌ “Yo haceré la cena mañana”
  • ✅ “Yo haré la cena mañana” Why? Remember, the stem changes completely to “har-”. Many learners try to keep the original “hac-” stem, but that’s incorrect!
  1. Word Order Confusion
  • ❌ “Haré mañana la tarea”
  • ✅ “Mañana haré la tarea” While both are technically correct, the second version sounds more natural to native speakers.
  1. Forgetting Accent Marks
  • ❌ “hare, haras, hara”
  • ✅ “haré, harás, hará” Those accent marks aren’t optional - they’re crucial for correct pronunciation and meaning!
