Some common verbs change their stem in the simple future.
The idea
Use tendr- for tener, podr- for poder and vendr- for venir, then add é, ás, á, emos, éis or án.
Examples
- Mañana tendré tiempo.I will have time tomorrow.
- Podremos reunirnos el viernes.We will be able to meet on Friday.
- Ana vendrá después de comer.Ana will come after lunch.
- ¿Tendrás las entradas?Will you have the tickets?
- Podrán entrar a las nueve.They will be able to enter at nine.
- Mi hermano vendrá en tren.My brother will come by train.
