💡 Grammar Points

The Simple Future Tense

This form, 'morirá,' talks about an action that will happen later. For most verbs, you just add the future endings (like -á) to the full verb (morir).

Who is 'morirá'?

'Morirá' can mean 'he will die,' 'she will die,' 'it will die,' or 'you (formal) will die.' The context or the subject you use tells you who is performing the action.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the Present instead of Future

Mistake: "Él muere mañana. (He dies tomorrow.)"

Correction: Él morirá mañana. (He will die tomorrow.) While Spanish sometimes uses the present tense for near future, the future tense is clearer and more natural for definite future events.

⭐ Usage Tips

Irregular Past Participle

Remember the past participle is irregular: 'muerto' (dead), not 'morido.' This is used with 'haber' to form perfect tenses (e.g., ha muerto, has died).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'morirá' a regular or irregular conjugation?

The infinitive 'morir' is irregular because its stem changes in many tenses (like 'muero' instead of 'moro'). However, the future tense ('morirá') is formed regularly by adding the standard future endings to the entire infinitive 'morir', which makes it look simple in this specific tense.

How do I know if 'morirá' means 'he/she/it' or 'you (formal)'?

You need context! If you are speaking to someone formally and use 'Usted,' then it means 'you.' Otherwise, if the sentence refers to a third party or object (like 'el perro' or 'la flor'), it means 'he,' 'she,' or 'it.'
