Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'regresará' have an accent mark on the 'a'?

The accent mark is required to show the stress. In Spanish, all forms of the simple future tense (except 'nosotros') have a written accent mark on the final vowel. This tells you to pronounce the last syllable with emphasis: reh-greh-sah-RÁH.

Is 'regresará' the same as 'volverá'?

Yes, they mean the same thing ('will return'). 'Volverá' is generally more common in everyday spoken Spanish, but 'regresará' is perfectly correct and frequently used, especially in writing or slightly more formal contexts.
