Empezar Future Practice

Empezar (to start, to begin) in the future: 14 free exercises with an explanation after every answer, plus the full conjugation table.

14 exercisesStem-changing e→ieA1 – A2 level
IWhat to watch for

Empezar is completely regular in the future. Unlike the present, there is no e→ie stem change and no z→c spelling change: you simply add the endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis and -án to the full infinitive, giving empezaré, empezarás, empezará, empezaremos, empezaréis and empezarán.

The trap for learners is over-correcting to empiezaré with the diphthong from the present tense. The future keeps the plain stem empezar-. Future signals like mañana, el próximo lunes and dentro de poco point you to this tense.
