💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Formation
The Spanish future tense is easy! You take the full base verb (necesitar) and add the future ending (-á). This form is used for 'he,' 'she,' or the formal 'you' (usted).
No 'Will' Required
In English, you say 'will need.' In Spanish, the 'will' is already built into the verb form 'necesitará,' so you don't add another word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'a' after the verb
Mistake: "Necesitará a comprar."
Correction: Necesitará comprar. (The verb 'necesitar' does not need the preposition 'a' before another verb.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Planning Ahead
Use 'necesitará' when talking about predictions, future plans, or requirements that must be met later: 'El viaje será largo; necesitará descansar' (The trip will be long; he will need to rest).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'necesitará' the same as 'va a necesitar'?
They both mean 'will need,' but 'necesitará' (the simple future) is often used for slightly more distant or formal predictions. 'Va a necesitar' (the 'going to' future) is very common and usually sounds more immediate or conversational.
How do I know if 'necesitará' refers to 'he,' 'she,' or 'you' (formal)?
You must look at the subject of the sentence. If there is no subject mentioned, the context usually makes it clear. For instance, if you're talking about María, 'necesitará' means 'she will need.'
