💡 Grammar Points

Future Tense Basics

This form, 'traerá', is used to talk about actions that will happen sometime after now. It's the standard way to express the future in Spanish.

Who is Doing the Action?

The '-á' ending tells you the action is being done by one person: 'él' (he), 'ella' (she), or 'usted' (formal you).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing 'Bring' and 'Take'

Mistake: "Using 'llevará' when the object is coming *towards* the speaker/central point."

Correction: Use 'traerá' when the action is directed *toward* the location where the conversation is happening. Use 'llevará' when it's directed *away*.

⭐ Usage Tips

Future Probability

Advanced speakers also use 'traerá' to guess about the present: '¿Quién será?' (I wonder who it is?). If you say '¿Quién traerá el regalo?' you are asking 'Who will bring the gift?'.
