Questions & Answers about La nave regresará a la base la próxima semana.
How do we form the future tense in regresará?
To form the future tense for regular verbs, you keep the entire infinitive verb (regresar) and add the future ending. Since we are talking about la nave (it), we add the ending -á to make regresará. Remember that the accent mark is important because it tells you to stress the final syllable!
I've learned to say va a regresar. Is regresará different?
Both are correct! Va a regresar means "is going to return" and is extremely common in everyday conversation. Regresará is the simple future tense ("will return"). It sounds slightly more formal or emphasizes that the event is a bit further in the future, like an official schedule or a formal prediction.
Why is there an a after regresará?
Why does "next week" have la in front of it?
