💡 Grammar Points
Identifying 'Darás'
'Darás' is the future tense used when talking directly to one person informally ('tú'). It describes an action of giving that will happen later.
Future Tense Formation
Even though the verb 'dar' is irregular in the present, its future tense ('darás') is very regular! You simply add the future ending '-ás' to the infinitive 'dar'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the wrong 'You'
Mistake: "Using 'darás' when addressing a group or a boss."
Correction: Remember 'darás' is only for 'tú' (informal singular). For formal singular or any plural, you must use 'dará' (usted) or 'darán' (ustedes).
⭐ Usage Tips
Future vs. Immediate Future
In speech, it's common to use the structure 'vas a dar' (you are going to give) instead of 'darás' (you will give) for events happening very soon.
"Darás" can mean "you will yield" or produce results, like a tree yielding fruit.
darás(Verb)
