💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Basics

This form ('llamará') is the simple future tense. You use it to talk about actions that definitely will happen later, just like 'will call' in English.

Future for 3rd Person

Remember this form works for 'él' (he), 'ella' (she), and 'usted' (the formal way to say 'you').

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Near Future

Mistake: "Using 'va a llamar' (is going to call) when a specific, distant future time is mentioned."

Correction: While 'va a llamar' is common, the simple future ('llamará') is often better for scheduled or definite future events: 'El tren llamará a las 5.' (The train will call at 5.)

⭐ Usage Tips

Easy Future Formation

The Spanish future tense is easy because you just add the ending (-á) to the entire infinitive ('llamar').
