Questions & Answers about Gracias; te llamaré más tarde.

Why is there a semicolon after Gracias? Is that normal in Spanish?

Yes, it can be. A semicolon (;) in Spanish works much like in English: it links two related clauses more strongly than a comma but less strongly than a full stop.
That said, in everyday writing you’ll more often see:

• Gracias. Te llamaré más tarde. (most common)
• Gracias, te llamaré más tarde. (also common)

Why is there no yo? Shouldn’t it be Yo te llamaré más tarde?

Spanish often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.
Llamaré clearly means I will call, so yo is optional. You’d add yo mainly for emphasis or contrast (e.g., Yo te llamaré, no él).

What tense is llamaré and how is it formed?

Llamaré is the simple future (futuro simple): I will call.
Formation: infinitive llamar + future ending -é (for yo):

• llamar + é → llamaré Other forms: llamarás, llamará, llamaremos, llamaréis, llamarán.
