💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Irregularity

The verb 'saber' is irregular in the future tense. It uses the special stem 'sabr-' instead of its infinitive form 'saber' before adding the future endings (-é, -ás, -á, etc.).

Use of the Future Tense

This tense is used for actions, facts, or plans that will definitely happen in the future. It is a commitment or a prediction.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the Regular Stem

Mistake: "Yo saberé (Incorrect)"

Correction: Yo sabré (Correct). Always remember that 'saber' drops the 'e' and adds an 'r' to create the future stem: s-a-b-r.

⭐ Usage Tips

Quick Memory Trick

Think of the English word 'sabre' (like a sword) to remember the irregular Spanish stem: S-A-B-R. This trick works for the future and conditional tenses.
