How to Do Edwardian Hairstyles

Posted: 18 Oct 2017 05:00 PM PDT

The Edwardian Era, also known as "La Belle Epoque" and "the Gilded Age," spanned from the late 1890s to 1914. The Gibson girl was a popular inspiration when it came to fashion and hair. Most of the hair of that era were voluminous, wispy updos, but there were other styles as well, such as buns and braids. Edwardian women often resorted to using mesh or wire frames for their hair, but there are other ways to do the same styles using simpler techniques.[1][2]

EditSteps

EditCreating the Gibson Girl

  1. Add volume to your hair, if needed. If you already have thick, wavy/curly hair, you may not need to do this. If you have thin or straight, hair, however, you will need to add some volume to it. There are several ways you can do this:
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 1.jpg
    • Backcomb or tease your hair, including the top; leave the under layers smooth.[3]
    • Start with wet hair, then blow-dry it upside down.[4]
    • Add a volumizing powder or mousse to the roots.[5]
  2. Separate the hair from your hairline in a thick band. Part your hair vertically on each side, right in front of the ears. Section off a 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) thick band of hair across your front hairline, running from ear-to-ear.[6]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 2.jpg
  3. Gather the rest of your hair into a bun, except for the bottom layer. The bottom layer needs to curve in a 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) thick band along your back/bottom hairline. Secure the bun with a hair tie or hair clip.[7]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 3.jpg
    • This bun is temporary; you will come back to it later.
    • Save yourself some work later on and make a ponytail instead. Twist and secure the ponytail with a hairclip.
  4. Roll the front section of your hair back, then pin it. Gather the sectioned-off hair from your front hairline. Use your forefingers to wind that hair backwards, then secure the roll with a bobby pin or two.[8]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 4.jpg
    • The section needs to be the same length as your forefinger.
    • Keep the roll loose. It should be big enough to comfortably fit both of your forefingers.
  5. Repeat the process on the rest of your hairline. Continue working in finger-length sections around your hairline, including the temples and sides. Don't worry if a few wisps of hair come loose; this will give you a more romantic look that is suitable for the period.[9]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 5.jpg
    • The nape will be a little tricky. Check your work in the mirror.
    • Tease the sections of hair as needed before you roll them back.[10]
  6. Sweep your bangs back and pin them, if needed. Pull your bangs back over the front roll, and gently pin them in place. Be careful not to squash the roll, however![11]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 6.jpg
    • Skip this step if you don't have bangs.
  7. Turn the bun into a ponytail, then split it in two. Go back to the bun from the very beginning. Undo it carefully, so as not to disrupt the rolls, then re-tie it into a ponytail right in the center. Split the ponytail in half so that you have a left side and a right side.[12]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 7.jpg
    • If you make a ponytail then clipped it into a bun earlier, simply remove the clip.
  8. Roll, flatten, and pin each side of the ponytail towards the center. Take the left side of the ponytail, and roll it towards the center. Press the roll flat, and pin it just above the ponytail. Repeat the process for the right, but pin it just below the ponytail.[13]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 8.jpg
  9. Loosen the style, if needed. Gently tug out a few wisps of hair around your hairline, especially at the temples, nape, and side burns. If you want to, you can set your style with hairspray to help it last longer. This is not really necessary, however; they did not have hairspray back then![14]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 9.jpg

EditStyling the Wrap and Roll

  1. Start with long hair that's parted down the middle. This style looks like a rolled and tucked bun, except that the roll is more pronounced. The longer your hair is, the more voluminous the style ill be. For best results, your hair should fall well past your shoulders.[15]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 10.jpg
  2. Section off the front part of your hair. Use your thumbs to separate the hair that's in front of your ears from the rest of your hair. The sections need to extend from your side burns all the way up to the center part. Drape these sections over your shoulders and brush the rest of the hair back.[16]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 11.jpg
  3. Tie the two sections behind your head in a loose ponytail. The ponytail needs to sit at about ear-level. Keep it loose enough so that you can still tuck your fingers behind it, but tight enough so that it doesn't droop don. Use a mini hair tie that matches your hair color or a clear hair elastic to secure it.[17]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 12.jpg
  4. Flip the ponytail a few times until the sides twist into ropes. Slip your finger up behind the tied sections. Hook it around the ponytail, then pull the ponytail through the gap. Do this a few times until the tied hair sections become twisted.[18]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 13.jpg
  5. Gather the ret of your hair into a loose, low ponytail. You want to include the first ponytail in this one as well. Secure the ponytail just below the first one with a hair tie that matches your hair color. Keep the ponytail loose enough so that you can slide your finger behind it.[19]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 14.jpg
  6. Flip the ponytail once or twice. Slide your finger up through the ponytail, right behind the hair tie; you want your finger between your head and the actual hair tie. Hook your finger around the ponytail, then slide it down through the hole. Tug down enough so that the ponytail comes out of the hole, but not the hair tie.[20]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 15.jpg
    • If you have long, thin hair, you may need to do this twice.
  7. Roll the ponytail upwards. Gather and smooth your ponytail. Rotate it around your two forefingers as you roll it upwards towards your head. Keep the roll loose enough so that your forefingers can rotate freely inside of it. You want it to have a slight, oval shape, o that it extend above the initial roll from the previous step.[21]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 16.jpg
  8. Secure the roll to your head with bobby pins. Make sure that you are only pinning the underside of the roll so that it is nice and voluminous. You will need at least two bobby pins, one on each side of the top of the roll. If you have thick, heavy hair, you may need another set or two of bobby pins along the sides.[22]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 17.jpg
  9. Set the style with hairspray, if desired. You don't have to do this, but you can if you want to. Hairspray will help the style last longer, but skipping the hairspray will be more authentic to the period. In fact, a few loose strands will give you a wispy, romantic look that's perfectly suitable.

EditDoing an Adaptable Hairstyle

  1. Start with long hair, parted down the center. This method will show you how to do three simple Edwardian hairstyles. They all start out the same way, but end different on the final step. In order for these hairstyles to work, your hair should fall well past your shoulders.[23]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 19.jpg
  2. Gather a section of hair in front of each ear. The sections should extend from your side burns up to your hairline. Keep the sections relatively thin, about 1-inch (.54 centimeter) thick.[24]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 20.jpg
  3. Tie the sections into a loose ponytail behind your head. Use a clear elastic or a hair tie that matches your hair color;. Make sure that ponytail is loose enough to drape under the curved part of your head, right above the nape.[25]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 21.jpg
  4. Twist the ponytail a few times. Slip your fingers behind the tied section and grab the ponytail. Pull it down through the hole, just like making a flipped or topsy-turvy ponytail. Do this a few times until the tied sections are twisted into ropes, all the way up to your hairline.[26]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 22.jpg
  5. Finish off with a braid, flipped ponytail, or tucked bun. This is where the magic of this adaptable hairstyle occurs! Gather all of your hair, including the twisted ponytail, and everything beneath it. Next, finish your style by doing one of the following:[27]
    Do Edwardian Hairstyles Step 23.jpg
    • Braid: split your hair into three sections, with the tied ponytail in the middle section. Braid your hair down, then secure it with a hair tie.
    • Flipped ponytail: Make a ponytail that's level with the twisted ties. Poke your finger up through your hair, behind the hair tie. Grab the ponytail, and pull it down through the hole.
    • Tucked bun: Do a flipped ponytail, but keep flipping it until you run out of hair. Tuck the ends into the hole, then secure them with bobby pins.
  6. Set your style with hairspray, if desired. If you really want to get authentic, you can skip this step. If you want to keep your style looking smooth throughout the day, however, lightly mist it with hairspray.

EditTips

  • Use bobby pins and hair ties that are close to your hair color.
  • You can try creating the Gibson girl style if you have shorter hair, but you may need to use more hairspray to set the rolls.
  • If your hair is too short, you can use extensions or even a wig.
  • You can also use foam or mesh inserts for your hair. Pin them to your head first, then wrap and roll your hair around them.[28]
  • Look at reference pictures to get more ideas.

How to Find the Andromeda Galaxy

Posted: 18 Oct 2017 09:00 AM PDT

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31 or "the Great Spiral Galaxy" is one of the most distant objects that the unaided human eye can see. Use the constellations around the Andromeda Galaxy to help you pinpoint its location in the sky. You can see the galaxy faintly with your eyes, but binoculars or a telescope will make it clearer. To maximize your view, go out on a dark night in autumn or winter. Locating it for the first time is a little tricky, but once you find it, it's hard to ever lose it again.

EditSteps

EditLocating the Galaxy

  1. Go away from the lights of the city. Any light pollution can make it difficult to find the Andromeda Galaxy. It is best to go away from any urban areas, street lights, or lit parks. Take a hike onto a mountain, go out into an isolated field, or find another area without any light pollution.[1]

  2. Adapt your eyes to the dark. The Andromeda Galaxy is not as bright as other stars around it. When you go out to stargaze, give yourself fifteen minutes to adjust to the darkness. You may realize that you can see more stars than you could at first.[2]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 2 Version 2.jpg
  3. Use a star chart to determine where the galaxy will appear in the sky. The position of galaxies, stars, and constellations can change with the seasons. Look for a star chart designed for the current month.[3]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 3 Version 2.jpg
    • You can often find star charts for free online. They are also sometimes sold at planetariums or by astronomical societies.
    • The star chart may also tell you what the best of time night to see the Andromeda Galaxy is based on the season.
    • For example, in September and October, the Andromeda Galaxy will rise in the eastern sky of the northern hemisphere. By midnight, it should be directly above your head.[4]
    • If you live in the southern hemisphere, you might look towards the northern horizon in December to see it. It may not rise high in the sky.[5]
  4. Download a stargazing app. There are many apps that can help you find the Andromeda Galaxy and other stars. These will adjust the star charts based on your position, hemisphere, season, and time of night. These include the Star Chart app, NightSky app, and GoSkyWatch.
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 4 Version 2.jpg
  5. Locate the Cassiopeia constellation. If you can find the Big Dipper, look for the bright star next to it. This is called Polaris or the North Star. Across Polaris from the Big Dipper will be Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia contains five stars in a "W" shape. The right side of this "W" will point down directly at the Andromeda Galaxy.[6]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 5 Version 2.jpg
  6. Find the Pegasus and Andromeda constellations. Pegasus looks like a giant rectangle. You should see two lines of stars extending from the upper left-hand corner of this star. This is the Andromeda constellation.
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 6 Version 2.jpg
    • Keep in mind that the Andromeda constellation is separate from the Andromeda Galaxy.
  7. Look between Pegasus and Cassiopeia for a smudge. The Andromeda Galaxy lies between the Pegasus constellation and the point of Cassiopeia. It should look like a blur or a hazy oval in the sky.
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 7 Version 2.jpg
  8. Draw a line through the Mirach and Mu Andromedae stars. Start at the star on the upper left-hand corner of Pegasus. The constellation Andromeda begins here. Follow Andromeda down two stars. You should see two stars stacked on top of one another called Mirach and Mu Andromedae. If you draw a line through the two stars and extend it past Mu Andromedae, you should run into the Andromeda Galaxy.[7]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 8.jpg
    • Mu Andromedae is dimmer than Mirach. It is also the star closest to the Andromeda Galaxy.
  9. Look for the companion galaxies. If you are using a telescope, you may find two faint fuzzy spots beside the galaxy. One of them, M32, is smaller in size and closer to the actual galaxy core. The other, NGC 205, is larger in size, and farther from the actual galaxy. Both are companion galaxies to Andromeda.[8]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 9.jpg

EditChoosing Your Tools

  1. Start by locating the galaxy with your naked eye. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy without any special tools. It will look like a faint, fuzzy oval in the night sky. Once you have found the area of the sky where the galaxy is located, it may be easier to find it with binoculars or a telescope.[9]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 10.jpg
  2. Use binoculars for a closer look. Binoculars will give you a closer look at the galaxy. Once you find the galaxy with your eye, bring the binoculars up slowly, and adjust your view until you can find the galaxy. It should look like an oval cloud when viewed through binoculars.[10]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 11.jpg
    • You can use normal binoculars for this. The best binoculars to use have 7x50, 8x40, or 10x50 lenses.[11]
  3. Use a telescope for a more detailed examination. A typical reflector telescope will let you see nucleus (or center) of the galaxy as well as its two companion galaxies. The galaxy is so large that you may not be able to see the whole thing at once using your telescope.[12]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 12.jpg
    • If you are using a telescope, keep it at the lowest magnification settings. While the Andromeda Galaxy appears quite small to the naked eye, it will appear very large when using a telescope.

EditMaximizing Your View

  1. Look for the Andromeda Galaxy in fall or winter. In the Northern hemisphere, the best time to view the Andromeda Galaxy is between August and September. In the southern hemisphere, you can see it between October and December. During these seasons, Andromeda will appear as soon as the sky darkens.[13]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 13.jpg
    • It is possible to view the Andromeda Galaxy all year long in the northern hemisphere, although it may be more difficult to find in other seasons.[14]
  2. Choose a night without a moon. The moon can also dim your view of the stars. You will have the clearest view of the Andromeda Galaxy if you go out during the new moon or a crescent moon.[15]
    Find the Andromeda Galaxy Step 14.jpg
    • If the moon is full, it may be difficult to find the Andromeda Galaxy.
    • A new moon occurs once a month. Use an online lunar calendar to find the best night for stargazing this month.
  3. Check the weather for a cloudless evening. Any clouds in the sky will obstruct your view of the stars. Look at weather reports before you head out to make sure that there will be no cloud cover.

EditTips

  • What you actually see is the core of the galaxy, the outer arms are very faint. You might wish to try to photograph it to make it show up, but you will likely need a long exposure time, a camera adapter, and image stacking software such as Registax or ImagesPlus.
  • Remember to dress for the weather, especially in the colder months.

How to Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish

Posted: 18 Oct 2017 01:00 AM PDT

Verbs ending in -ir are the third largest group of verbs in Spanish. To conjugate -ir verbs in Spanish, all you do is remove the -ir from the end and replace it with the right letters. The new ending you choose conveys the tense (past, present, future), the mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative), and who's doing the action.[1]

EditSteps

EditDescribing Present Actions

  1. Learn the endings for present indicative verbs. The present indicative tense is used in Spanish to mean three different things. Using the regular -ir verb vivir (to live), "yo vivo" might mean "I live," "I am living," or "I do live." To conjugate the verb, replace the -ir with the ending that matches the subject.[2]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 1.jpg
    • Yo (I): -o. Yo vivo (I live).
    • Tú (informal you): -es Tú vives (you live).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -e. Él/ella/usted vive (he/she/you live).
    • Nosotros (we): -imos. Nosotros vivimos (we live).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -ís. Vosotros vivís (you all live).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -en. Ellos/ellas/ustedes viven (they/you all live).
  2. Try the progressive form for continuous actions. If the subject of your sentence is currently in the middle of doing something, the progressive form is appropriate. Combine the present participle of your -ir verb with the correct conjugated form of the verb estar.[3]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 2.jpg
    • Yo (I): estoy. Yo estoy viviendo (I am living).
    • Tú (informal you): estás. Tú estás viviendo (You are living).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): está. Él/ella/usted está viviendo (He/she is living; you are living).
    • Nosotros (we): estamos. Nosotros estamos (We are living).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): estáis. Vosotros estáis viviendo (You all are living).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): están. Ellos/ellas/ustedes están viviendo (They/you all are all living).
  3. Use the imperative for commands. If you're commanding someone to do something, you'll always be speaking in present tense. For regular verbs, drop the -ir and add the appropriate ending, depending on who you're addressing.[4]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 3.jpg
    • Tú (informal you): -e. ¡Vive! (Live!)
    • Usted (he/she/formal you): -a. ¡Viva!
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -amos. ¡Vivamos!
    • Ustedes (they/formal you all): -an. ¡Vivan!
  4. Express uncertainty with the subjunctive mood. Any time you're talking about your emotions, or about something uncertain, you'll want to conjugate the present tense verb in the subjunctive mood. For example, you might say "es posible que la víctima viva," or "it's possible the victim lives." The word possible is a trigger that the person's life is uncertain.[5]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 4.jpg
    • Yo (I): -a. Yo viva. (I live).
    • Tú (informal you): -as. Tú vivas. (You live).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -a. Él/ella/usted viva. (He/she lives, you live).
    • Nosotros (we): -amos. Nosotros vivamos. (We live).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -áis. Vosotros viváis. (You all live).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -an. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivan. (They/you all live).
  5. Add a helper verb when a past action continues into the present. Combine the present indicative form of haber with the past participle of your -ir verb to make the present perfect form. It's also common to use the present indicative for this, so the present perfect is used more in Spain that it is in Latin America.[6]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 5.jpg
    • Yo (I): he. He vivido. (I have lived).
    • Tú (informal you): has. Has vivido. (You have lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): ha, hay (Add the y when the present participle of the verb starts with a vowel). Ha vivido (He/she has lived; you have lived).
    • Nosotros (we): hemos. Hemos vivido (We have lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): habéis. Habéis vivido (You all have lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): han. Han vivido (They/you all have lived).

EditDiscussing Past Actions

  1. Use preterite indicative to talk about completed actions. There are two different verb forms in Spanish that are used for past tense. For example, you might say "Ella vivió en España," or "She lived in Spain," to talk about someone who lived in Spain once.[7]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 6.jpg
    • Yo (I): -í. Yo viví (I lived).
    • Tú (informal you): -iste. Tú viviste (You lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -ió. Él/ella/usted vivió (He/she/you lived).
    • Nosotros (we): -imos. Nosotros vivimos (We lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -isteis. Vosotros vivisteis (You all lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -ieron. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivieron (They/you all lived).
  2. Form imperfect indicative verbs to talk about past actions with no end. The imperfect tense also deals with actions that happened in the past. When deciding whether to use the imperfect or preterite form, look for words such as a menudo (often) or generalmente (usually).[8]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 7.jpg
    • Yo (I): -ía. Yo vivía (I lived).
    • Tú (informal you): -ías. Tú vivías (You lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -ía. Él/ella/usted vivía (He/she/you lived).
    • Nosotros (we): -íamos. Nosotros vivíamos (We lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -íais. Vosotros vivíais (You all lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -ían. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivían (They/you all lived).
  3. Use the subjunctive mood when expressing wishes or doubts. In Spanish, there are two different forms of the subjunctive imperfect tense. They both mean the same thing, just pick one and use it consistently.[9]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 8.jpg
    • Yo (I): -iera, -iese. Yo viviera, viviese (I lived).
    • Tú (informal you): -ieras, -ieses. Tú vivieras, vivieses (You lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -iera, -iese. Él/ella/usted viviera, viviese (He/she/you lived).
    • Nosotros (we): -iéramos, -iésemos. Nosotros viviéramos, viviésemos (We lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -ierais, -ieseis. Vosotros vivierais, vivieseis (You all lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -ieran, iesen. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivieran, viviesen (They/you all lived).
  4. Talk about actions that happened before other past actions with past perfect tense. To form past perfect tense, combine the correct conjugation of haber in the imperfect tense with the past participle of your -ir verb.[10]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 9.jpg
    • Yo (I): había. Yo había vivido (I had lived).
    • Tú (informal you): habías. Tú habías vivido (You had lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): había. Él/ella/usted había vivido (He/she/you had lived).
    • Nosotros (we): habíamos. Nosotros habíamos vivido (We had lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): habíais. Vosotros habíais vivido (You all had lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): habían. Ellos/ellas/ustedes habían vivido (They/you all had lived).
  5. Use preterite perfect tense in formal writing. The preterite perfect tense is used for actions that happened immediately before another past action. You don't need to know it for normal conversation, but you form it with the conjugated preterite form of haber and the past participle of your -ir verb.[11]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 10.jpg
    • Yo (I): hube. Yo hube vivido (I had lived).
    • Tú (informal you): hubiste. Tú hubiste vivido (You had lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): hubo. Él/ella/usted hubo vivido (He/she/you had lived).
    • Nosotros (we): hubimos. Nosotros hubimos vivido (We had lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): hubisteis. Vosotros hubisteis vivido (You all had lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): hubieron. Ellos/ellas/ustedes hubieron vivido (They/you all had lived).
  6. Form past perfect subjunctive to discuss past hypotheticals. If you want to mention a condition or possibility that occurred in the past, combine the conjugated imperfect subjunctive form of haber with the past participle of your -ir verb. Remember that there are two imperfect subjunctive forms, which are interchangeable.[12]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 11.jpg
    • Yo (I): hubiera, hubiese. Yo hubiera/hubiese vivido (I had lived).
    • Tú (informal you): hubieras, hubieses. Tú hubieras/hubieses vivido (You had lived).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): hubiera, hubiese. Él/ella/usted hubiera/hubiese vivido (He/she/you had lived).
    • Nosotros (we): hubiéramos, hubiésemos. Nosotros hubiéramos/hubiésemos vivido (We had lived).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): hubierais, hubieseis. Vosotros hubierais/hubieseis vivido (You all had lived).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): hubieran, hubiesen. Ellos/ellas/ustedes hubieran/hubiesen vivido (They/you all had lived).

EditExpressing Future Actions

  1. Start with the future indicative. The future indicative is the basic tense to use in Spanish when you want to talk about an action that will happen at some point in the future. Unlike in English, this tense does not require a helper verb in Spanish.[13]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 12.jpg
    • Yo (I): -iré. Yo viviré (I will live).
    • Tú (informal you): -irás. Tú vivirás (you will live).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -á. Él/ella/usted vivirá (He/she/you will live).
    • Nosotros (we): -iremos. Nosotros viviremos (We will live).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -iréis. Vosotros viviréis (You all will live).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -irán. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivirán (They/you all will live).
  2. Learn the future subjunctive. The future subjunctive is primarily used when you're talking about an action that is possible in the future, but may not happen. This is a relatively rare verb form that is becoming obsolete, but you might see it in writing.[14]
    Conjugate Ir Verbs in Spanish Step 13.jpg
    • Yo (I): -iere. Yo viviere (I will live).
    • Tú (informal you): -ieres. Tú vivieres (You will live).
    • Él/ella/usted (he/she/formal you): -iere. Él/ella/usted viviere (He/she/you will live).
    • Nosotros (we): -iéremos. Nosotros viviéremos (We will live).
    • Vosotros (informal you all): -iereis. Vosotros viviereis (You all will live).
    • Ellos/ellas/ustedes (they/formal you all): -ieren. Ellos/ellas/ustedes vivieren (They/you all will live).
  3. Combine the present participle with the correct conjugation of estar for future progressive. In Spanish, as in English, the future progressive tense is used to describe an action that will be happening at some point in the future.[15]

  5. Switch to future perfect subjunctive if an action might happen in the future. If there is doubt about whether an action will have happened in the future, use the correct future subjunctive form of the verb haber with the past participle of your -ir verb. Like the future subjunctive, this verb form is rarely used, but you might see it in writing.[17]
