💡 Grammar Points
The Simple Future Tense
This form, 'preguntaré,' is used for actions that will definitely happen later. It's built by taking the whole infinitive ('preguntar') and adding the future ending (-é).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future vs. Immediate Future
Mistake: "Using 'Voy a preguntar' (I am going to ask) when talking about something far in the future or making a formal prediction."
Correction: While 'Voy a preguntar' is very common for near-future plans, 'preguntaré' is better for more distant or general future actions, or when writing formally.
⭐ Usage Tips
Stress the Ending
Notice the accent mark on the final 'é.' This is crucial! It tells you to stress the last syllable: preh-goon-tah-RÉ. If you forget the accent, it sounds like 'he/she/it asked' (pregunté).
