💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Formation

The future form 'servirá' is easy! You just add the ending '-á' to the full verb 'servir'. This pattern works for almost all Spanish verbs.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Stem-Change Confusion

Mistake: "Using *sirá* instead of *servirá*."

Correction: While 'servir' has an 'e' to 'i' change in the present tense (*sirvo*), the future tense is regular and keeps the original 'e': *serviré, servirás, servirá*.
