💡 Grammar Points
Future Tense Basics
'Verán' tells you that the action of 'seeing' has not happened yet, but will happen sometime later. It is used for making predictions or promises.
Regular Future Form
Even though 'ver' is irregular in some tenses, its future form ('verán') is formed by simply adding the ending to the full infinitive, making it very predictable.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing 'Ver' and 'Mirar'
Mistake: "Using 'mirar' when you mean 'to see' (passive action)."
Correction: 'Ver' is usually passive (something enters your sight), while 'mirar' is active (you intentionally look at something).
⭐ Usage Tips
Identifying the Subject
Since 'verán' ends in -án, the people doing the action are 'ellos/ellas' (they) or 'ustedes' (you formal plural).
Illustrating understanding or finding out: 'They will realize.'
verán(verb)
they will realize
?to understand or find out
,you (plural, formal) will understand
?to comprehend
they will face
?to encounter consequences
📝 In Action

B2If you (formal plural) don't pay the fine, you will face the consequences.

B1They will see (understand) that I am right as soon as they see the data.
💡 Grammar Points
Figurative Use
Just like in English, 'ver' often means 'to understand' or 'to figure out.' Look for abstract words like 'problema' (problem) or 'consecuencias' (consequences) nearby.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'Saber' Instead
Mistake: "Using 'saber' when the meaning is 'to realize' or 'to figure out' something new."
Correction: 'Verán' (realize/figure out) implies a discovery, while 'saber' means 'to know' a fact already.
⭐ Usage Tips
Slight Warning
The phrase 'Ya verán...' (They will see...) can sometimes carry a tone of warning or mild threat, implying consequences are coming.
