The Klingon equivalent of "we will speak later" would literally mean
"we speak later" (although I don't know if we have a word for
"later"). The time reference is enough to tell you that the action is taking
place in the future; the verb doesn't need to change, too. Similarly, the
Klingon equivalent of "we spoke yesterday" is literally "we speak yesterday".
