Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 'volverán' and 'regresarán'?
Both mean 'they will return' and are usually interchangeable. 'Volver' is slightly more common and versatile, often used in phrases like 'volver a hacer algo' (to do something again). 'Regresar' is often used specifically for returning to a place.
Why is 'volverán' considered irregular, even though the future tense looks regular?
'Volver' is called an irregular verb because its vowel changes from 'o' to 'ue' in the present tense ('yo vuelvo'). However, the future tense ('volverán') and the conditional tense follow the standard rules for -er verbs, making those specific forms easy to conjugate.
