Questions & Answers about Ese es el generador solar que habré arreglado para mañana.
How do you form 'will have fixed' in this sentence?
This is the future perfect tense. It is made by using the future tense of the helping verb haber (here, habré means 'I will have') followed by the past participle of the main verb. For arreglar (to fix), the past participle is arreglado. Together, habré arreglado gives us 'I will have fixed'.
Why is para used here instead of por to mean 'by'?
Why does the sentence start with Ese and not Eso?
Even though it is the first word in the sentence, 'That' specifically points to el generador, which is a masculine noun. Therefore, you must use the masculine demonstrative pronoun Ese. You would only use the neuter Eso if you were referring to an abstract idea, an entire situation, or an unidentified object.
Can I leave out the word que, similar to how we often drop 'that' in English?
No, in Spanish you can never omit the relative pronoun que. While in English you can say 'the generator I will have fixed', in Spanish you must always include the connector to say 'the generator that I will have fixed' (el generador que habré arreglado).
