💡 Grammar Points
The 'I' Future Promise
The ending '-aré' always tells you that the person doing the action is 'yo' (I), and the action is happening in the future or is a firm promise.
Regular Future Form
To make the future tense for regular verbs like 'cuidar' (an -ar verb), you just add the future endings (-é, -ás, -á, etc.) directly onto the full infinitive form ('cuidar').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing Future and Present
Mistake: "Using 'yo cuido' when you mean 'I will take care of.'"
Correction: Use 'cuidaré' for future actions. 'Yo cuido' means 'I take care of' right now or habitually.
⭐ Usage Tips
Stress on the End
Remember to strongly pronounce the last syllable, 'ré,' because the accent mark (tilde) makes it a stressed sound. This distinguishes it from other tenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 'cuidaré' require the pronoun 'yo'?
No, Spanish often leaves out the subject pronoun. Since 'cuidaré' only means 'I will take care of,' you can just say 'Cuidaré la casa' (I will take care of the house) without 'yo'.
What is the difference between 'cuidar' and 'atender'?
'Cuidar' means to provide sustained care, protection, or maintenance (like caring for a child or a garden). 'Atender' means to attend to, assist, or wait on someone (like serving a customer or answering a request).
