Transcripts
we mentioned that with future
context we can talk about the future
using the present for example we had
tomorrow which
was Manana Manana good we had later or
more late which
was Mard
Mard we had tonight or this
night EST EST good another one is a
Pronto Pronto what do you think Pronto
means now a was now no ah soon soon yeah
you hear in English sometimes get here
Pronto no it's get here soon sa Bronto
is also future
context what was the verb to see or to
view he
sees good
they V you
informal this
we very good the I version is a tiny bit
irregular
it's so you have v e o so it's not v as
it should be or B it was too short it
became b b v e o b or how would you say
I'm seeing her later I'm seeing her
later that means I see she
later it's not La it is oh so it's la la
good
yes I'm seeing her
tonight good EST
we are seeing her soon we are seeing her
soon prto what is to say oh sorry it
should beos
yes yes so no
guessing all it's the Only Rule
HTO
goodto what if we say we're seeing we
will see them soon but with this them we
mean a female group
we're seeing them
soon
goodto he is seeing them soon and this
them they are still females he is seeing
them
soon good and you in
foral them soon you're seeing
themto good now make it a question are
you seeing them soon the female
themto Pronto aren't you seeing them
soon no no Pronto why aren't you seeing
them
soon
good very good so we saw that with
future context we don't need the future
if we don't have future context we can
still use the present to talk about the
future using this go or I'm going which
is present but we can use it to talk
about the future in Spanish as we do in
English I'm going to see her we talking
about the future we're going to see her
so let's practice that how would you say
we are going to see
her are you going to see him soon
speaking in formly are you going to see
him
soon so you can't work with ear which is
too to go you should probably work with
vamos and work
backwards vas
goodto
goodto the word for us is NOS NOS so how
would you say are you going to see us
soon are you going to see us soon and we
still speaking
in no Pronto very
goodto where else could that NOS
go at the
beginning before the changed
verb very
goodto aren't you going to see us
soon
goodto
either way why aren't you going to see
us
soon good so we've seen that we can use
the present to talk about the future
using going to or also using future
context word like tomorrow next week
next week is the week that comes and the
week is La La how do you say the week
that comes so what is the word for that
which is the same as
what the week that the week which comes
and here we mean the week comes so it's
it comes so what is it
comes
V good so next week
is the week that
comes so you could say let's speak and
to say let's speak we know from B you
can just use the we form
so to speak
is we
speak let's speak next week let's speak
the week that
comes yeah and now I forgotten come it's
okay okay if we forgot it we need to
find it again that's not any problem
every time we do find it we strengthen
that process and that's what we need not
to remember the word the process we need
to strengthen I want you to know how to
find to come and then to go from the it
comes but your time to find it
com Ben it would be Ben
but let's speak the coming
week at the moment you have you have the
whole sentence in your mind and you want
to translate it now this process works
when you're memorizing but we're not
memorizing we're doing something else
we're building so we must reduce it down
to the smallest piece we could possibly
think about think about that piece get
it out then forget it so the first pit
is we speak let's
speak the
week which or that
comes
good what was to see or to view
ver ver what is we
see themos themos if you want to say we
see each other you say we see us NOS can
mean us ourselves each other can mean
all of that NOS so how do you say we see
ourselves
noos noos this is a way of saying
goodbye in Spanish noos we see each
other now the future cont text here is
the fact that you're saying goodbye but
we're using present cuz we know when we
say NOS BOS we don't mean we're seeing
each other right now we mean we will see
each other again we're not even
mentioning that future context but it's
working it's allowing us to use the
present there noos ciao or you might
want to say we will see each other next
week how would you say that so Peace by
piece we see each other I want all of
your mental energy on that and not
thinking yet about next week how you
will say that what your about right now
in this moment is how you're going to
say we see ourselves and even before
that just we
see so it's Vos and it's noos good the
week that comes so the
week
good so you see it's not important to
remember B we don't want to remember B
this is useless in fact if we memorize B
we just going to be glazing over the
problem uh what we want to internalize
is the process of oh how do I find this
so we've seen that we can use the
present to talk about the future using
either to go to
Bo or using some future
context
