How to use tener in the future
The future of tener is irregular: the stem changes to tendr-, giving tendré, tendrás, tendrá, tendremos, tendrán. Use it for plans and predictions, and also for guesses about the present: "Tendrá unos cuarenta años" means "He must be about forty." Learners often say "teneré," which does not exist. In conversation, "voy a tener" is just as common for near-future plans.
Examples
Tendré el borrador listo para el jueves.
I'll have the draft ready by Thursday.
Tendrás que hablar con recursos humanos.
You'll have to talk to HR.
No sé cuántos años tiene; tendrá unos cincuenta.
I don't know how old he is; he must be around fifty.
