💡 Grammar Points

Predicting the Future

The '-án' ending is a signal that we are talking about what several people or things will do later on. It is like adding 'will' in English.

Keep on Doing

If you put another verb ending in '-ando' or '-iendo' after 'seguirán,' it means they will 'keep on' doing that action (e.g., 'seguirán comiendo' = they will keep on eating).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Missing the Accent

Mistake: "seguiran"

Correction: seguirán (The accent on the 'á' is vital; without it, the word isn't pronounced correctly in the future tense).

⭐ Usage Tips

Who are you talking about?

Remember that 'seguirán' can mean 'they will' (men, women, or things) OR 'you all will' (ustedes). The context of your conversation will help people know which one you mean!
