💡 Grammar Points
Tú vs. Usted
Remember 'estarás' is the informal way to talk about 'you' (tú). If you are speaking formally or to an older person, you must use 'estará' (usted).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future Tense Irregularity
Mistake: "Usando 'estarás' en lugar de 'serás' para algo permanentemente true, como una profesión."
Correction: 'Estarás' is only for temporary location or condition. For permanent traits or identity, use 'serás': 'Serás un gran abogado' (You will be a great lawyer).
⭐ Usage Tips
Location Check
If you can replace the verb with 'located at,' you should use a form of estar like 'estarás.'
Estarás (you will be feeling) refers to a temporary state, like the excitement shown by this joyful jump.

💡 Grammar Points
Ser vs. Estar: Temporary State
Use 'estarás' for conditions that can change, like being hungry, tired, or angry. If the quality is a defining characteristic, use 'serás' (e.g., 'serás alto' – you will be tall).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using Future for Probability
Mistake: "Confusing the Future tense 'estarás' (you will be) with the present meaning of probability: '¿Dónde está Juan?' 'Estará en casa.'"
Correction: In Spanish, the simple future tense like 'estarás' can also mean 'you are probably' or 'you must be' when referring to the present moment. This is a special, common usage.
⭐ Usage Tips
Predicting Feelings
Use 'estarás' followed by an adjective (like 'contento', 'triste', 'enfermo') to predict someone's future mood or health.
When forming the future progressive tense, estarás (you will be doing) indicates an action that will be ongoing in the future, like the act of painting.
estarás(Verb)
you will be (doing something)
?Used as an auxiliary verb to form the future progressive tense
you'll be working/studying, etc.
?Combined with a gerund (-ando/-iendo word)

💡 Grammar Points
Future Progressive Tense
To show that an action will be in the middle of happening at a specific time in the future, use 'estarás' + the -ando/-iendo form of the main verb (the gerund).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Overusing the Progressive
Mistake: "Using the progressive form when the simple future works fine: 'Mañana estarás estudiando.'"
Correction: The simple future usually suffices: 'Mañana estudiarás.' Only use 'estarás' + gerund when you want to emphasize the duration or interruption of the future activity.
⭐ Usage Tips
Focus on the Moment
The Future Progressive (estarás + gerund) is perfect for saying 'At exactly that moment, this action will be underway.'
