Questions & Answers about Ellos llevarán tecnología moderna al planeta rojo.
How is the future tense formed in llevarán?
For regular verbs in the future tense, you do not drop the ending like you do in the present or past. Instead, you add the future endings directly to the full infinitive verb. Here, we take llevar (to take) and add the "they" ending -án to get llevarán (they will take).
Why use llevarán for "will take" instead of a form of tomar?
In Spanish, llevar means to "take" in the sense of transporting or carrying something from one place to another. Tomar means to "take" in the sense of physically grabbing something, catching a bus, or drinking. Since they are transporting technology to another planet, llevarán is the right word to use here.
Why does it say al planeta when planeta ends in an "-a"?
Planeta is one of those tricky exception words: it ends in "-a" but is actually masculine! Because it is masculine, it uses the article el. When the preposition a (to) is followed by el (the), they always combine into the mandatory contraction al.
