When to Use the Future
The future tense is used for actions that will definitely happen in the future. It's straightforward: 'Yo compartiré mis apuntes contigo' means 'I will share my notes with you.' It can also express probability or conjecture in the present, like 'Compartirá unos 30 años' (He is probably around 30 years old).
Notes on compartir in the Future
Compartir is regular in the future tense. The entire infinitive 'compartir' is used as the stem, and regular future endings are added.
