💡 Grammar Points
The Future Tense (Simple)
This form ('comeré') shows an action that will happen later. It is formed by adding the endings (-é, -ás, -á, etc.) directly to the full infinitive verb ('comer').
Formal vs. Informal Future
While 'comeré' is the standard future, Spanish often uses 'voy a comer' (I am going to eat) for plans, which is more common in spoken, informal situations.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the 'ir a' structure too much
Mistake: "Using 'voy a comer' for predictions or distant future events."
Correction: Use the simple future ('comeré') when making general predictions or talking about things far away in time, as it sounds more formal and natural in those contexts.
