Learn Spanish: Movies and Future Perfect Continuous Tense

Regardless of our culture or what language we speak, watching movies at home or in the cinema is a popular leisure activity, and fans love discussing their favorite films, how they were made, and who starred in them. We have therefore designed this course to teach you basic vocabulary related to movies and filmmaking. This Spanish course will help you converse about your favorite movies and actors in one of the most spoken languages in the world.

We cover two grammar topics. First, we review the future perfect tense and compare it to the future simple tense to help you understand when it is more appropriate to use each. We introduce you to the future perfect continuous tense and demonstrate how to use it to form statements and questions. The second grammar topic covers discussions about plans, intentions, and predictions. We show you how to use the verbal periphrasis ‘ir a' for future plans and predictions and in substantive clauses. We also examine the simple conditional to discuss plans in the past.

You will then integrate your new grammar and vocabulary skills by practicing reading, listening, and writing using what you have learned about the movies, filmmaking, the future perfect, the future perfect continuous, and 'ir a.' Continue to progress as a Spanish student by ensuring that you take the time to practice. To help you further your skills, we have included some writing tips and exercises in our 'Resources' section.
