💡 Grammar Points
Talking About the Future
'Harás' is used to talk about what 'you' (the person you're talking to, informally) will do in the future. It's a promise, a plan, or a prediction.
An Irregular Future Verb
Most future verbs in Spanish just add endings to the full verb (like 'comer' -> 'comerás'). 'Hacer' is special. It changes its beginning to 'har-' before adding the ending: 'har-ás'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future vs. 'What If'
Mistake: "Si tuviera tiempo, harás un pastel."
Correction: Si tuviera tiempo, haría un pastel. Use 'harás' for things that *will* happen, not for hypothetical 'what if' situations (which use 'haría').
⭐ Usage Tips
Making Predictions
You can use 'harás' not just for plans, but also to guess or predict something. For example: 'Con tanto tráfico, seguro harás tarde.' (With so much traffic, you will surely be late.)
The verb harás also translates to 'you will make' when referring to creating or preparing something, such as food or an object.

💡 Grammar Points
One Verb, Two Meanings
Unlike English, which has 'do' and 'make', Spanish uses 'hacer' for both. You just have to figure out from the rest of the sentence if you're talking about an action ('do') or creating something ('make').
⭐ Usage Tips
Listen for Nouns
A good clue for when 'harás' means 'make' is if it's followed by a noun that can be created, like food ('un pastel'), an object ('una mesa'), or a sound ('ruido').

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'harás' and 'haces'?
'Harás' is for the future ('you will do/make'), talking about something that hasn't happened yet. 'Haces' is for the present ('you do/make'), talking about right now or a regular habit.
Is 'harás' formal or informal?
'Harás' is the informal way to say 'you will do', used when talking to a friend, family member, or someone your age (the 'tú' form). For a more formal situation, you would use 'hará' (the 'usted' form).
Why doesn't it look like 'hacerás'?
Great question! 'Hacer' is an irregular verb in the future tense. Instead of using the full infinitive 'hacer-', it shortens to 'har-'. Many common verbs do this, like 'poder' (podrás) and 'saber' (sabrás).
