💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Rule

The 'llamaré' ending (-é) is the standard way to conjugate 'yo' (I) in the future tense for ALL Spanish verbs, regardless of whether they end in -ar, -er, or -ir.

Future vs. Immediate Future

You can use 'llamaré' (I will call) for any future event. For actions happening very soon, Spanish speakers often use the immediate future: 'voy a llamar' (I am going to call).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Conditional and Future

Mistake: "Using 'llamaría' when meaning 'I will call.'"

Correction: 'Llamaré' means 'I will call' (certainty). 'Llamaría' means 'I would call' (condition or polite suggestion).

⭐ Usage Tips

Using 'Te' First

It is most common to put the person you are calling ('te' for you) before the verb: 'Te llamaré' (I will call you).
