💡 Grammar Points

The Future Tense

The ending '-aré' tells you that the action hasn't happened yet, but the speaker ('yo' or 'I') promises or intends to do it soon. It's like saying 'I will...'.

Regular -AR Verb

Since 'arreglar' is a regular '-ar' verb, you can use the same future tense pattern for many other common verbs like 'hablaré' (I will talk) or 'cantaré' (I will sing).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Future and Conditional

Mistake: "Yo arreglaría (I would fix)"

Correction: Yo arreglaré (I will fix). Remember the future tense has a strong 'é' at the end for 'yo'.

⭐ Usage Tips

Use for Appearance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'arreglaré' and 'voy a arreglar'?

Both mean 'I will fix/tidy up,' but 'arreglaré' (Future Simple) is generally used for plans further out or for formal promises. 'Voy a arreglar' (Periphrastic Future) is much more common in everyday speech for immediate, near-future plans.

How do I know if 'arreglaré' means 'fix' or 'tidy up'?

Look at the direct object (the thing receiving the action). If it's something broken (like a car or a clock), it means 'fix.' If it's a space (like a room or a closet), it means 'tidy up' or 'organize'.
