💡 Grammar Points
Irregular Stem Alert
The future tense of 'saber' is irregular. Instead of using the full verb 'saber' as the base, it uses the shortened stem 'sabr-' before adding the standard future endings. (sabrás, sabremos, etc.)
Guessing in the Present
Spanish speakers often use the future tense (like 'sabrás') to make a guess or express probability about something happening right now. Example: 'Tendrá hambre' means 'He is probably hungry.'
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up 'saber' and 'conocer'
Mistake: "Using 'conocerás' when talking about a fact or skill. (Example: 'Conocerás la respuesta')"
Correction: Use 'sabrás' for facts, skills, or information. Use 'conocerás' only for people, places, or becoming familiar with something. (Correction: 'Sabrás la respuesta')
⭐ Usage Tips
Focus on the 'R'
Remember the 'r' in the future stem 'sabr-'. It sounds like a quick, single flap of the tongue, making the word sound crisp: /saˈβɾas/.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'sabrás' and 'conocerás'?
'Sabrás' (from saber) means you will know a fact, a piece of information, or a skill (e.g., 'you will know the answer'). 'Conocerás' (from conocer) means you will be familiar with a person, a place, or an entity (e.g., 'you will meet the new boss' or 'you will visit the city').
Is 'sabrás' used for making future plans?
Not usually for plans. 'Sabrás' is strictly about future knowledge or discovery. For plans, you would typically use the simple present or 'ir a' + infinitive (e.g., 'vas a ir').
