💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense: Commitment

The 'future tense' (enseñaré) is used for actions that will happen later. Unlike English, where you often use 'going to,' Spanish uses this single verb form to express commitment or certainty about the future.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the wrong future structure

Mistake: "Yo voy a enseñar (while correct, it's less formal)"

Correction: Use 'enseñaré' to sound more natural and formal when stating a future plan or prediction.

⭐ Usage Tips

Quick Future Check

Remember that all regular -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs use the same endings in the future tense: just add the ending (-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án) to the full infinitive ('enseñar').

💡 Grammar Points

Showing vs. Telling

When 'enseñaré' means 'I will show,' it usually needs a direct object (what you are showing) and often an indirect object (who you are showing it to), like in 'Te enseñaré mi casa' (I will show you my house).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'enseñaré' the same as 'voy a enseñar'?

'Enseñaré' (simple future) is generally used for more definite plans or predictions, and sounds a bit more formal. 'Voy a enseñar' (ir + a + infinitive) is also correct and is often used more frequently in casual spoken Spanish to talk about the immediate future.

Does 'enseñaré' require an accent mark?

Yes, all 'yo' forms in the simple future tense end in -é and require an accent mark over the 'e' (e.g., enseñaré, hablaré, comeré) to ensure the stress falls on the last syllable.
