💡 Grammar Points

Who is Doing the Helping?

The form 'ayudará' tells you that the person or thing doing the action is singular: 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' or the formal 'you' (usted). It is the future tense.

Future for Guessing

Spanish often uses the future tense to express probability or make a guess about the present. For example: '¿Dónde estará Juan?' (Where could Juan be?)

❌ Common Pitfalls

Mixing up the Future Subject

Mistake: "Using 'ayudará' when talking about yourself (Yo)."

Correction: Remember the ending: 'ayudará' is for 'él/ella/usted.' If you mean 'I will help,' you must say 'Yo ayudaré'.

⭐ Usage Tips

Simple Future vs. Near Future

While 'ayudará' is the simple future, you can also use the 'near future' construction: 'va a ayudar' (is going to help). Both are correct, but 'ayudará' sounds slightly more formal or definite.
