Future Tense Irregularity

Remember 'estarás' is the informal way to talk about 'you' (tú). If you are speaking formally or to an older person, you must use 'estará' (usted).

Tú vs. Usted

If you can replace the verb with 'located at,' you should use a form of *estar* like 'estarás.'

Location Check

Extremely common. Used constantly to talk about future location or condition.

Using Future for Probability

Use 'estarás' for conditions that can change, like being hungry, tired, or angry. If the quality is a defining characteristic, use 'serás' (e.g., 'serás alto' – you will be tall).

Ser vs. Estar: Temporary State

Use 'estarás' followed by an adjective (like 'contento', 'triste', 'enfermo') to predict someone's future mood or health.

Predicting Feelings

Very commonly used to describe temporary feelings or conditions in the future.

Overusing the Progressive

To show that an action will be in the middle of happening at a specific time in the future, use 'estarás' + the -ando/-iendo form of the main verb (the gerund).

Future Progressive Tense

The Future Progressive (estarás + gerund) is perfect for saying 'At exactly that moment, this action will be underway.'

Focus on the Moment

Commonly used in compound tenses to describe an ongoing action in the future.

'Estarás' is the future tense 'tú' (you, informal) form of the verb 'estar.' It means 'you will be,' used for future location, temporary feelings, or future ongoing actions (e.g., 'you will be working').
