From Lesson 125:The irregular future tense (tendr-, har-, podr-...)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Sabrás controlar la casa con tu voz.

How is sabrás formed, and why doesn't it follow the normal future tense rules?
Sabrás comes from the verb saber (to know). Usually, you form the future tense by adding endings directly to the full infinitive verb. However, saber is one of the verbs with an irregular future stem: sabr-. To make it "you will know", you just add the standard tú future ending -ás to this irregular stem.
Why isn't there a word for "how" in the Spanish sentence?
In Spanish, when you want to say you "know how to" do something, you just use saber followed directly by an action (an infinitive verb like controlar). You do not translate the word "how" (cómo). So, sabrás controlar perfectly translates to "you will know how to control."
Why is tu written without an accent mark in tu voz?
The word tu without an accent mark is the possessive word meaning "your" (your voice). If it had an accent mark (tú), it would be the subject pronoun meaning "you."
Is the word voz masculine or feminine?
Voz is feminine. If you wanted to say "the voice" instead of "your voice," you would say la voz. As a quick spelling reminder, if you ever need to make it plural (the voices), the z changes to a c: las voces.
