💡 Grammar Points
The Simple Future Tense
This verb form describes an action that will happen in the future. In Spanish, we usually add the endings (-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án) directly to the entire infinitive (llegar) instead of using a separate helping word like 'will' in English.
Who is 'llegarán'?
Llegarán can refer to 'ellos' (they, masculine/mixed group), 'ellas' (they, feminine group), or 'ustedes' (you, plural formal). You need the context of the sentence to know exactly who is arriving.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing Future with Immediate Future
Mistake: "Using 'Van a llegar' when 'llegarán' is more appropriate for a scheduled or slightly distant event."
Correction: Use 'llegarán' for general future plans. Use 'van a llegar' (ir a + infinitive) only for actions happening very soon or when emphasizing the intention.
⭐ Usage Tips
Remember the Accent Mark
The accent mark on the 'a' (llegarán) is essential! It tells you that the stress falls on the last syllable, which is characteristic of the future tense in Spanish.
