💡 Grammar Points
The 'D' in the Future
This verb is special because when talking about the future, the 'e' in 'mantener' turns into a 'd'. Instead of 'mantenerá', we say 'mantendrá'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't forget the accent
Mistake: "mantendra"
Correction: mantendrá (The accent on the 'a' tells you to emphasize the end of the word, which is necessary for the future form).
⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'se'
Use 'se mantendrá' when talking about things that stay the same on their own, like the weather or prices.

💡 Grammar Points
Supporting People
When using this word to mean supporting a person, you must use the word 'a' before the person's name or title (e.g., 'mantendrá a su hijo').
