💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense for 'Tú'
This word means 'you will need' when speaking to a friend or someone younger (the informal 'tú'). The accent on the 'á' is the key sign that this is the future tense.
Regular Verb Pattern
To form the future tense for regular verbs like 'necesitar,' you simply add the ending to the whole infinitive form: 'necesitar' + 'ás' = 'necesitarás'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'Tú' and 'Usted'
Mistake: "Using 'necesitarás' when speaking formally to a boss or older person."
Correction: Use 'necesitará' (the usted form) for formal situations. Remember: 'necesitarás' is only for 'tú'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Expressing Future Intent
In Spanish, the future tense ('necesitarás') is very common. It often replaces the 'going to need' structure ('vas a necesitar') used frequently in English, making your Spanish sound more natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'necesitarás' have an accent mark?
The accent on the final 'á' is essential because it tells you two things: 1) where to put the stress when you say the word (on the last syllable), and 2) that the word is in the simple future tense. All future tense forms of 'tú' end in -rás, -rás, or -rás, and they all have an accent.
Can I use 'vas a necesitar' instead of 'necesitarás'?
Yes, 'vas a necesitar' (you are going to need) is the 'periphrastic future' and is perfectly correct, especially in casual conversation. However, using 'necesitarás' (the simple future) is often quicker and sounds more polished.
