Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'sabrá' have an 'r' in it, but the base verb 'saber' doesn't?

This is simply how the future tense is formed in Spanish for certain verbs! 'Saber' is considered irregular because it adds an 'r' (sabr-) before attaching the future endings. This pattern helps the word flow better when spoken quickly.

Is 'sabrá' used only for future time?

Not always! While its main job is talking about the future ('He will know'), it's very commonly used to express doubt or speculation about the present ('I wonder who knows'). This is a key feature of the Spanish future tense.
