💡 Grammar Points
The Simple Future Tense
This form tells you what 'we' are going to do later. It is built by adding specific endings directly to the whole infinitive verb ('pasar'), unlike the present tense.
Spending Time
The verb 'pasar' is used to talk about spending time, similar to 'to spend' in English, but only for time, not money (that's usually 'gastar').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'We spent' and 'We will spend'
Mistake: "Using 'pasamos' (we passed/spent - past tense) when you mean the future."
Correction: Make sure to use the future form 'pasaremos' for future actions: 'Pasaremos el verano en México' (We will spend the summer in Mexico).
⭐ Usage Tips
Quick Future Alternative
You can often use the immediate future ('vamos a pasar') instead of 'pasaremos,' especially in very informal speech, but 'pasaremos' sounds more decisive and official.
Pasaremos also means 'we will hand over,' representing the action of transferring an object.
pasaremos(verb)
we will hand over
?transferring an object
,we will pass along
?transferring information
we will share
?sharing a message

💡 Grammar Points
Direct and Indirect Objects
When 'pasaremos' is used to transfer something, you often use two objects: the thing being passed (direct object) and the person receiving it (indirect object).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'pasar' for 'to happen' (reflexive)
Mistake: "Trying to use 'pasaremos' to mean 'we will happen' (which makes no sense)."
Correction: To ask what will happen, use the third person singular form, usually impersonally: '¿Qué pasará?' (What will happen?).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 'pasaremos' means 'we will spend' or 'we will pass by'?
Look at what comes after the verb. If it's a duration of time (e.g., 'tres horas,' 'el verano'), it means 'we will spend.' If it's a location (e.g., 'por la ciudad,' 'su casa'), it means 'we will pass by.'
Is 'pasaremos' a regular or irregular verb?
'Pasaremos' comes from the verb 'pasar,' which is a regular '-ar' verb. The future tense conjugation is especially regular, meaning you just add the future endings to the full verb 'pasar'.
