💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Basics
The future tense ('darán') tells you that an action will happen later. Unlike English, which uses 'will,' Spanish uses one word, usually built directly from the base verb (infinitive).
Who is 'darán'?
This form refers to multiple people: 'ellos' (they, masculine or mixed group), 'ellas' (they, feminine group), or 'ustedes' (you all, formal). Pay attention to who is doing the giving!
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing the Present and Future
Mistake: "Using 'dan' when you mean 'darán'."
Correction: 'Dan' means 'they give now.' 'Darán' means 'they will give later.' Remember the accent mark on the 'a' for the future tense.
⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'Dar' for Time
You can use 'dar' to talk about time: 'La reunión dará inicio a las diez' (The meeting will start at ten).

💡 Grammar Points
Impersonal Uses
When talking about results or effects, 'darán' is often used with impersonal subjects (like 'things' or 'the situation'). For example: 'Las circunstancias darán un nuevo sentido' (The circumstances will give a new meaning).
⭐ Usage Tips
Yielding vs. Giving
If you are talking about something abstract (like hope, results, or light), use 'darán' in the sense of 'producing' or 'providing,' not just 'handing over.'

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'darán' have an accent mark on the 'a'?
The accent mark in 'darán' is necessary because it is a future tense conjugation. In Spanish, all future tense endings carry an accent mark to ensure the stress falls on the last syllable (dah-RAHN), which is a key pattern for identifying the future tense.
Is 'dar' a regular verb?
No, 'dar' is considered irregular, especially in the present tense ('doy' instead of 'do') and the past tense ('di' instead of 'daba'). However, the future tense stem, which 'darán' uses, is regular (dar + future ending).
