She will think a lot before accepting that job.

Usted no pensará en otra cosa hasta que lo resuelva.

You (formal) won't think about anything else until you solve it.

The Future Tense

This form ('pensará') is used to talk about actions that will happen definitely in the future. It is a single word in Spanish, unlike the 'will + verb' structure in English.

The Subject

Since the verb ends in 'á', the subject must be 'él' (he), 'ella' (she), or 'usted' (the formal 'you').

Misplacing the Stress

Mistake:Saying 'PENSARA' (stress on the first syllable).

Correction: The accent mark on the 'á' is crucial! It tells you to stress the very last syllable: 'pen-sa-RÁ'. This distinguishes it from the past subjunctive form ('pensara').
