Domani andremo alla luna — il futuro semplice

The futuro semplice

Grab your telescope: Luna insists she'll visit the real moon one day, and Adam is already planning next weekend. Time to talk about tomorrow.

🎯 By the end you can…

  • Talk about plans and predictions using the future tense
  • Conjugate regular -are, -ere, -ire verbs in the future
  • Use the irregular futures of essere, avere, andare, fare

🎬 Listen to the scene

Tap a line to hear it, then say it back louder than Luna barks.

  • What will you do this weekend?

  • I'll go to the seaside with Luna. And you?

  • I'll study Italian, obviously!

  • Luna says one day she'll go to the real moon.

Adam's tip: -are verbs change their vowel too: parlare → parlerò (not parlarò).

🧩 Irregular stems

  • essere → sarò, sarai, sarà… · avere → avrò, avrai, avrà…
  • andare → andrò · fare → farò · venire → verrò · potere → potrò · dovere → dovrò

🤯 Wow fact

Italian squishes 'will' right onto the end of the verb — parlerò basically means 'I-will-speak' in one single word.

🗣️ Say it fast, say it silly

Andrò, farò, sarò, avrò — che futuro!

Three times in a row without tripping = you win.
