💡 Grammar Points
The 'Hidden D' Rule
In the future tense, the verb 'poner' drops its 'e' and adds a 'd' to become 'pondr-'. This makes it easier to say than 'ponerás'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Don't say 'ponerás'
Mistake: "Tú ponerás la comida."
Correction: Tú pondrás la comida. Spanish shortens this specific verb when talking about the future.
