💡 Grammar Points

The Double 'R' Shortcut

Most verbs keep their full name in the future (like 'comer' becomes 'comerán'), but 'querer' is a rebel. It drops the 'e' and adds an extra 'r', making it 'querrán' instead of 'quererán'.

The 'Guessing' Future

In Spanish, you can use the future form to make a guess about what is happening right now. '¿Qué querrán?' can mean 'What do they probably want?' even if you are talking about the present moment.

❌ Common Pitfalls

The 'Extra E' Trap

Mistake: "quererán"

Correction: querrán. Remember to drop the 'e' from the middle of the word before adding the ending.

⭐ Usage Tips

Polite Guessing

Use 'querrán' when you're trying to be helpful or intuitive about what a group of people might need without asking them directly.
