💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Meaning
The 'seguirá' form tells you what a single person (he, she, or formal you) will definitely do in the future. It expresses commitment or certainty.
Using 'Seguir + Gerund'
To say someone 'will keep doing' an action, you use 'seguirá' plus the -ando/-iendo form of the second verb: 'seguirá leyendo' (he will keep reading).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'Seguir' and 'Suceder'
Mistake: "El evento sucederá pronto. (Meaning 'The event will follow soon' in the sense of 'happen')"
Correction: El evento ocurrirá pronto. 'Seguir' means to physically or chronologically come after, or to continue, not just to happen.
⭐ Usage Tips
The 'Will' of the Future
Think of 'seguirá' as the simplest way to say 'will follow' or 'will continue.' It's often interchangeable with 'va a seguir' (is going to continue).
When something seguirá (will remain), it continues in a state or position. The stone bench seguirá (will remain) right where it is.
seguirá(Verb)

💡 Grammar Points
Expressing Continuity of State
When 'seguir' is followed by a verb like 'ser' (to be) or an adjective, it means the state or quality will continue unchanged into the future.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up 'Ser' and 'Estar'
Mistake: "La casa seguirá estando vacía. (Often technically correct, but 'ser' is more common for permanent states)"
Correction: La casa seguirá siendo un problema. ('Ser' is preferred when discussing continuing intrinsic qualities or problems.)
⭐ Usage Tips
A More Elegant Way to Say 'Still'
Using 'seguirá' is a natural, elegant way to express 'still' in the future: 'He will still be angry' = 'Él seguirá enfadado'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the verb 'seguir' irregular in the future tense?
No, even though the verb 'seguir' is very irregular in the present tense (sigo, sigues), the future tense ('seguirá,' 'seguiremos,' etc.) is completely regular. You just add the standard future endings to the full infinitive 'seguir'.
How do I know if 'seguirá' means 'will follow' or 'will continue'?
The context usually makes it clear. If it's followed by a noun (seguirá el camino), it means 'will follow.' If it's followed by the -ando/-iendo form of a verb (seguirá estudiando), it means 'will continue' that action.
