💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Basics
The 'é' ending tells you two things: the action will happen later, and the person doing it is 'yo' (I). It expresses a definite future plan or prediction.
Using 'seguir' with -ing
To say 'I will keep doing something,' you use 'seguir' followed by the gerund (the -ando/-iendo form): 'Seguiré estudiando' (I will keep studying).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing Future and Conditional
Mistake: "Using 'seguiría' (I would continue) when meaning 'seguiré' (I will continue)."
Correction: Remember the future tense ('é') is for sure actions; the conditional ('ía') is for hypothetical or polite requests.
⭐ Usage Tips
Expressing Persistence
Use 'seguiré' when you want to show commitment or persistence towards a goal: 'Seguiré hasta el final' (I will continue until the end).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'seguiré' irregular, even though the future tense usually keeps the infinitive intact?
The verb 'seguir' is highly irregular in the present tense (sigo, sigues), but in the future tense ('seguiré'), it is actually quite regular! Unlike verbs like 'hacer' (haré) or 'tener' (tendré), 'seguir' simply adds the future endings to the full infinitive form, 'seguir.' Its irregularity comes from the stem changes (e to i) in other tenses, but not in the future.
How do I know if 'seguiré' means 'follow' or 'continue'?
Look at the word that comes next. If you are 'following' a path, a person, or instructions, it means 'to follow.' If you are 'following' an action (e.g., studying, running, working), it means 'to continue' or 'to keep doing' that action.
