Questions & Answers about ¿Asistirás al seminario conmigo o prefieres quedarte en casa?
Why is asistirás used here and how do you form the future tense for tú?
asistirás is the second person singular (tú) simple future of asistir. In Spanish, you form the simple future by adding endings directly to the infinitive. For regular ‑ir verbs like asistir:
Why is al used before seminario instead of a el?
Why is conmigo used instead of con yo or con mí?
What is the function of te in quedarte and why is it attached to the infinitive?

quedarse → quedarte (for you to stay).

“How does verb conjugation work in Spanish?”
Spanish verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns depending on whether they end in ‑ar, ‑er, or ‑ir. For example, "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablo" (I speak), "hablas" (you speak), and "habla" (he/she speaks) in the present tense.
