Introduction

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

This part sets up the students with an understanding of the importance of future verbal periphrases, linking grammar with practical application. This creates an engaging learning atmosphere and piques students' interest from the outset of the lesson.

Did you know?

Did you know that, in Spanish, the most common way to discuss the future isn’t the simple future tense, but rather the construction 'ir a + infinitive'? Instead of saying 'Yo estudiaré' (I will study), you’re more likely to hear 'Yo voy a estudiar' (I am going to study). This form is widely known in everyday chat and shows how the language evolves to meet its speakers' communication needs.

Contextualization

To kick off the lesson, highlight that verbs are a dynamic and essential part of any language, Spanish included. The future verbal periphrase is a structure that allows speakers to articulate actions that will happen later. Knowing how to use this is crucial for effective communication and for grasping Spanish texts. The future verbal periphrase is especially handy in scenarios where something is anticipated, planned, or promised.

Concepts

Duration: (50 - 60 minutes)

This section offers a detailed, practical understanding of future verbal periphrases in Spanish. By exploring the structure, conjugation, and contexts of use with practical examples, students will confidently identify and apply these constructions in their communication. The accompanying questions are designed to reinforce learning and encourage active engagement with content in real-life situations alongside establishing comparisons with other verb tenses.

Relevant Topics

1. Future Verbal Periphrase: Structure and Use: Explain that in Spanish, the future verbal periphrase is formed by conjugating the verb 'ir' in the present indicative followed by the preposition 'a' and the main verb in the infinitive. For example: 'Yo voy a estudiar'.

2. Difference Between Simple Future and Future Periphrase: Clarify the distinctions between the simple future (synthetic future) and the future verbal periphrase. Indicate that the simple future (e.g., 'estudiaré') is less prevalent in everyday dialogue, being more suited to formal or written contexts.

3. Contexts of Use: Discuss the situations where the future verbal periphrase is most suitable, such as promises, plans, predictions, and intentions with clear examples for each scenario.

4. Conjugation of the Verb 'Ir': Go over how to conjugate 'ir' in the present indicative (yo voy, tú vas, él/ella va, nosotros vamos, vosotros vais, ellos/ellas van).

5. Practical Examples and Exercises: Show sentences and brief texts that use the future verbal periphrase, prompting students to identify and explain the use of this structure in each example.

To Reinforce Learning

1. 1. Write three sentences using the future verbal periphrase to express plans for next weekend.

2. 2. Compare and contrast the use of the simple future and the future verbal periphrase in Spanish with examples for each.

3. 3. Read the provided paragraph and identify all instances of future verbal periphrases. Explain the context of each.
