💡 Grammar Points

The Simple Future Tense

This form, 'usaré,' tells you for sure that the action of 'using' will happen later. It is used for definite plans or predictions about the future.

Future Tense Formation

For regular verbs like 'usar,' you keep the whole infinitive ('usar') and just attach the future ending ('-é') to the end. This pattern works for almost all verbs!

❌ Common Pitfalls

Simple Future vs. Immediate Future

Mistake: "Using 'Voy a usaré' (A mix of tenses)."

Correction: Use either the simple future ('Usaré') or the immediate future ('Voy a usar'), but not both together. Both mean 'I will use,' but the immediate future suggests something happening very soon.

⭐ Usage Tips

Quick Prediction

'Usaré' is perfect for making quick predictions about yourself, like 'Mañana usaré el paraguas' (Tomorrow I will use the umbrella).
