💡 Grammar Points
Reaching Goals: 'Llegar a'
When 'llegar' means achieving a goal or becoming something, you must use the small word 'a' right after it: 'Llegaré a ser doctor' (I will reach the point of being a doctor).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forgetting the 'G' change
Mistake: "Using 'yo llegé' in the past."
Correction: The correct past form is 'yo llegué'. Spanish adds a 'u' to keep the 'g' sound soft before 'e' or 'i'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'llegaré' considered a regular conjugation?
Even though the base verb 'llegar' has spelling changes in some tenses (like the past), the future tense ('llegaré') is formed perfectly regularly by adding the future endings directly to the infinitive 'llegar' without any stem change.
Can I use 'voy a llegar' instead of 'llegaré'?
Yes! 'Voy a llegar' (I am going to arrive) is the 'near future' and is often more common in casual, spoken Spanish. 'Llegaré' is slightly more formal and precise for a prediction or a plan further out in time.
