This form, 'llegaremos', means 'we will arrive' and is used when talking about a definite plan or prediction for the future involving the speaker and others.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'a' vs. omission
Mistake: "Llegaremos a aquí."
Correction: Llegaremos aquí. (When arriving 'here' or 'there', you usually don't need the preposition 'a'.)
⭐ Usage Tips

Unlike English ('we are going to arrive'), the simple future ('llegaremos') is often preferred for definite plans, making your language sound natural and efficient.

💡 Grammar Points
Figurative 'A'
When 'llegar' means 'to reach a goal or state,' it is almost always followed by the preposition 'a' (e.g., 'llegar a un acuerdo' — to reach an agreement).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up 'llegar' and 'alcanzar'
Mistake: "Alcanzaremos a la solución."
Correction: Llegaremos a la solución. ('Alcanzar' often implies catching up to something physical; 'llegar a' is better for abstract goals.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Expressing Certainty
Using 'llegaremos' implies confidence that the goal or agreement will be reached, making it a strong and decisive way to talk about future success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'llegaremos' regular or irregular?
It is considered a regular verb in the future tense, meaning its stem ('llegar-') stays the same and you just add the standard future endings. However, be careful with the 'yo' form in the past tense (preterite), where it changes spelling to 'llegué' to keep the hard 'g' sound.
How do I say 'We have arrived'?
You would use the present perfect tense: 'Hemos llegado.' Remember that 'llegaremos' specifically refers to the future: 'We will arrive.'
