Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'explicaré' and 'voy a explicar'?
'Explicaré' (simple future) is generally used for more distant or formal plans, or to make a prediction. 'Voy a explicar' (immediate future) is used for actions happening very soon or when the speaker is less formal, similar to 'I am going to explain' in English.
Why does the verb 'explicar' change spelling in the subjunctive (expliQUE)?
This is a minor spelling rule for verbs ending in -car. The 'c' must change to 'qu' when followed by the letter 'e' (like in the subjunctive) to keep the hard 'k' sound. It's a spelling change, not an irregularity in the conjugation pattern.
