💡 Grammar Points

Who is acting?

This specific form 'permitirá' is only used when the subject is 'he', 'she', 'it', or 'you' (formal/usted). It always points to a future action.

The power of the accent

The accent on the last 'á' is vital. Without it, the word changes its meaning and rhythm entirely.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Mistaking 'permitirá' for 'permitiera'

Mistake: "Using 'permitirá' in 'if' sentences like 'Si él me permitirá...'"

Correction: Use 'permitiera' after 'si' (if) when talking about hypothetical situations. 'Permitirá' is for things that definitely will happen.

⭐ Usage Tips

Making it sound natural

In Spanish, we often use 'it will allow' to describe how a tool or a law works. For example, 'La ley permitirá...' (The law will allow...).
