💡 Grammar Points
Identifying the Subject
The ending -á tells you the subject is 'he' (él), 'she' (ella), or the formal 'you' (usted). The subject is often left out in Spanish because the verb ending makes it clear.
The Future Tense Pattern
To form the future tense for regular verbs like 'hablar,' you take the entire base word (hablar) and add the ending (-á in this case). It’s very easy because you don't change the base word!
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: "Writing 'hablara' when you mean the future."
Correction: The accent mark on the 'a' (hablará) is essential! Without it, 'hablara' means 'if he/she/you spoke' (a special form used for hypothetical situations).
⭐ Usage Tips
Expressing Predictions
Besides talking about a definite future action (like tomorrow), the future tense is also used to guess or speculate about the present: '¿Quién será?' (Who could it be?)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is 'hablará' different from 'va a hablar'?
Both mean 'will speak.' 'Hablará' is the standard simple future. 'Va a hablar' (ir a + infinitive) is the 'immediate future' and is often used in casual speech to talk about actions happening very soon, similar to 'is going to speak' in English.
Does 'hablará' ever mean 'must be speaking'?
Yes! In Spanish, the future tense can be used to express probability or conjecture about the present. For example, '¿Quién llama? Será Juan' means 'Who is calling? It must be Juan (or, it probably is Juan).'
