💡 Grammar Points

The 'Reverse' Structure

Like the verb gustar, encantar works backward. The thing being loved (the movie, the trip) is the one doing the 'charming,' so it is the subject, and the person who feels the love is the one receiving the action (the indirect object pronoun: me, te, le, nos, os, les).

Future Tense Use

The ending -ará tells you the action will happen in the future, and the subject is singular (it, he, she, or 'you' formal). For example, 'La comida encantará' (The food will be delightful).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the 'Yo' form incorrectly

Mistake: "Using 'Yo encantaré' to mean 'I will love it.'"

Correction: The correct phrase is 'Me encantará' (It will charm me). 'Yo encantaré' means 'I will charm/delight (someone else).'

⭐ Usage Tips

Expressing Certainty

Use 'encantará' when you are very confident that someone will enjoy a future event or item. It shows strong anticipation and enthusiasm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'gustará' and 'encantará'?

'Gustará' means 'will like' (a mild or moderate preference). 'Encantará' means 'will love' or 'will be delighted by' (a very strong preference or adoration). 'Encantar' is much stronger than 'gustar'.

How do I use 'encantará' to talk about something plural?

If the thing you love is plural (e.g., 'the gifts'), you must use the plural form 'encantarán.' For example: 'Me encantarán los regalos' (I will love the gifts).
