💡 Grammar Points
Talking About the Future
hará comes from the verb hacer (to do/make) and is used to say what 'he', 'she', 'it', or 'you (formal)' will do. Unlike English, Spanish doesn't use a helper word like 'will'. The future tense is built right into the verb's ending.
The Important Accent
The accent on the final 'á' is crucial. It tells you to stress that syllable (ah-RAH) and signals that you're talking about the future. Without it, hara means something completely different (from the verb arar, to plow).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the Wrong Verb Form
Mistake: "Using `hará` when talking about yourself (`yo`) or someone you're talking to informally (`tú`). For example: `Yo hará la tarea.`"
Correction: The verb form must match the person. For 'I will do', say `Yo haré`. For 'you will do', say `Tú harás`. `Hará` is only for `él/ella/usted`.
⭐ Usage Tips
Predicting and Promising
hará is perfect for making predictions about what someone else will do (Él hará un buen trabajo) or stating what will happen (El sol hará su aparición pronto).
When talking about meteorological conditions, hará means 'it will be,' as in 'it will be sunny' (hará sol).
📝 In Action
Mañana hará sol y calor.
A2Tomorrow it will be sunny and hot.
Dicen que el fin de semana hará mal tiempo.
B1They say it will be bad weather this weekend.
En la montaña, hará mucho viento.
A2In the mountains, it will be very windy.
💡 Grammar Points
Weather Talk
In Spanish, you use a form of hacer (to do/make) to talk about the weather. Hará is how you say 'it will be...' when describing future weather conditions. It's always used in this 'it' form for weather.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'Ser' or 'Estar'
Mistake: "It's a common English-speaker mistake to say `Mañana será sol.` or `Mañana estará sol.`"
Correction: For general weather descriptions like 'sunny', 'cold', or 'windy', always use `hacer`. The correct way is: `Mañana hará sol.`
⭐ Usage Tips
Memory Trick: 'Weather Does'
To help remember, think of it as 'the weather will do sunny' or 'it will make cold'. This can help you connect the verb hacer to weather descriptions.
This form is used impersonally to talk about a length of time that will be completed in the future, such as 'it will be five years' (hará cinco años).
📝 In Action
En diciembre, hará cinco años que nos casamos.
B1In December, it will be five years since we got married.
Pronto hará un siglo desde que se construyó el puente.
B2Soon it will be a century since the bridge was built.
💡 Grammar Points
Marking Time
You can use hará to talk about a length of time that will be completed at a future point. The structure is: Hará + [time period] + que + [something happened].
⭐ Usage Tips
From Past to Future
This is the future version of the very common phrase hace... que (ago). For example, Hace cinco años... means 'Five years ago...'. Hará cinco años... means 'It will be five years...'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'hará' have an accent mark?
The accent mark on the final 'á' is very important. It tells you two things: first, to put the stress on that last syllable when you say it (ah-RAH), and second, that it's the future tense. Without the accent, 'hara' would be a different, much rarer word.
Can I use 'hará' to mean 'there will be'?
No, that's a different verb. To say 'there will be', you use 'habrá' (from the verb 'haber'). For example, 'Habrá una fiesta mañana' (There will be a party tomorrow). 'Hará' is used for actions (will do/make) or weather (it will be sunny).
