💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Action
This form tells you definitively that an action (dying) will take place at some point in the future. It is a prediction or a certainty.
Regular Future Formation
Even though the verb 'morir' is irregular in many tenses, the future tense is formed regularly: you take the whole infinitive ('morir') and add the standard future ending for 'ellos/ellas/ustedes' (-án).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future vs. Past
Mistake: "Using *murieron* (they died, past) when you mean *morirán* (they will die, future)."
Correction: Remember the 'i' and the accent mark in *morirán* indicate the future; the 'u' in *murieron* shows it's a specific action in the past.
⭐ Usage Tips
Using 'Ustedes'
In Latin America, morirán is the standard way to say 'you all will die' (when addressing a group). In Spain, moriréis is used for the informal 'vosotros'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'morirán' the only way to express 'they will die'?
No. You can also use the immediate future structure: 'van a morir' (they are going to die). While 'morirán' is more direct and slightly more formal, 'van a morir' is very common in everyday conversation.
Why is the past participle 'muerto' irregular?
The past participle of *morir* is 'muerto' instead of the expected 'morido.' This is because it comes directly from an older, shortened Latin form (*mortus*). You just have to memorize this special form!
