💡 Grammar Points
The 'Guessing' Future
In Spanish, we often use the future form like 'parecerá' to make a guess about something happening right now. It's like saying 'I bet it seems...'
Spelling Change
The base verb 'parecer' adds a 'z' in some forms (like 'parezco'), but 'parecerá' follows the regular future pattern by keeping the full base word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't confuse with 'Aparecer'
Mistake: "Using 'parecerá' to mean 'will show up'."
Correction: Use 'parecerá' for how something looks, and 'aparecerá' for when something suddenly appears or arrives.
⭐ Usage Tips
Talking about people
If you want to say someone will 'look like' someone else (resemble them), use 'se parecerá' with the little word 'se' at the start.
