Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'dejaremos' the same as 'vamos a dejar'?

Yes, they mean the same thing ('we will leave/let'). 'Dejaremos' is the simple future tense and is a little more formal or concise, while 'vamos a dejar' (the immediate future) is more common in casual conversation.

How do I know if 'dejaremos' means 'we will leave' or 'we will allow'?

Look at the rest of the sentence. If it's followed by an object (like a key or a bag), it means 'we will leave it.' If it's followed by 'que' or another person and a verb, it usually means 'we will allow' or 'we will let.'
