💡 Grammar Points
The Simple Future Tense
To talk about what 'we will' do, you often just take the full verb, like 'ver', and add the ending '-emos'. This 'verb + ending' pattern works for most future tense forms in Spanish.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Future vs. 'Going to'
Mistake: "Usamos 'veremos' para un plan muy seguro."
Correction: For a solid, immediate plan, 'vamos a ver' (we are going to see) is often more natural. Use 'veremos' for things a bit further in the future or when you're simply stating a future fact.
Veremos is often used as a phrase to express uncertainty or that the outcome is pending.
veremos(Phrase)
we'll see
?expressing uncertainty

,that remains to be seen
?more formal equivalent

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'veremos' and 'vamos a ver'?
They both talk about the future, but have a slightly different feel. 'Vamos a ver' (we are going to see) often sounds like a more definite, immediate plan. 'Veremos' (we will see) can be for something further in the future or when you're less certain. However, in casual speech, they are often used interchangeably.
Why is 'veremos' used on its own as an answer?
It has become a set phrase, like saying 'We'll see' in English. The full idea is something like 'We will see what happens,' but it's so common that just saying 'veremos' is enough for everyone to understand you mean 'let's wait and see'.
