Io vorrò essere più forte.
I will want to be stronger.
From Lesson 115:Future tense of double-R verbs (berrò, vorrò)·Italian

Questions & Answers about Io vorrò essere più forte.

Why is 'volere' conjugated as vorrò?
Volere (to want) is irregular in the future tense. Instead of keeping its normal stem, it gets a double-r, becoming vorr-. To say 'I will want', you add the standard io future ending -ò to get vorrò.
Why is essere left in its dictionary form?
Because it follows vorrò, which is a modal verb (verbs like want, can, or must). Just like in English, when you use a modal verb, the action verb that comes immediately after it stays in its infinitive (dictionary) form.
How do you say 'stronger' in Italian?
Italian doesn't use a special ending like the English '-er' to make comparisons. Instead, you just place più (more) before the adjective. So, più forte literally means 'more strong'.
Do we need the word io at the beginning of the sentence?
No, it is optional. The -ò ending on vorrò already makes it perfectly clear that the subject is 'I'. Including io just adds a bit of emphasis, like saying 'I will want to be stronger.'
