Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 'dejaré' means 'I will leave' or 'I will let'?
Look at the rest of the sentence. If 'dejaré' is followed by a person/thing and then another verb in its base form (like 'correr' or 'hablar'), it means 'I will let them do something' (e.g., 'Dejaré que corras'). If it's followed by a direct object or a location, it usually means 'I will leave it/them there' (e.g., 'Dejaré mi bolso').
Is 'dejaré' a difficult verb form?
No, it's one of the easiest! It is a regular verb, meaning the future form is built directly from the base form ('dejar') plus the standard future ending ('-é'). Once you know the pattern, it works for thousands of other Spanish verbs.
