Another option to talk about actions in the future is to use the structure ‘ir a + verb in infinitive’, equivalent to ‘going to + verb’ in English. This expression often emphasizes the intention of the speaker: ‘Voy a comer mucho en la fiesta’ = ‘I’m going to eat a lot at the party’. It can refer to events that are close in the future or very far: ‘Cuando seamos viejos, vamos a vivir en la playa’ = ‘When we’re old, we’re going to live by the beach’.
