💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Prediction
The 'future' tense in Spanish, like 'dejará,' is used for actions that will definitely happen later.
The 'él/ella/usted' Form
'Dejará' is the form used when the person doing the action is 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' or the formal 'you' (usted).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up Future and Conditional
Mistake: "Saying *dejaría* when you mean 'will leave' (future)."
Correction: Use *dejará* for something that definitely will happen. *Dejaría* means 'would leave' (something uncertain or hypothetical).
⭐ Usage Tips

The accent mark over the 'a' (dejará) is crucial! It tells you the stress is on the last syllable, which is typical for the future tense in Spanish.

❌ Common Pitfalls
Missing the 'de'
