The future tense in Spanish

Spanish verbs have a single-word form that carries roughly the meaning of English will or 'll (as in we will try, he'll eat, they'll come etc). This form is generally called the future tense. Here are some examples of the future tense in Spanish:

hablaré
I'll speak
comeremos
we'll eat
vendrá
he'll/she'll/it'll come¹
