Questions & Answers about El astronauta habrá arreglado el satélite.

How do we form the "will have fixed" part of this sentence?
To say someone "will have" done something, Spanish uses the future tense of the helper verb haber. Here, habrá means "he will have." We pair that with the past participle of our action verb, which is arreglado (fixed).
Wait, why is it el astronauta if the word ends in -a?
Nouns ending in -auta (like astronauta) or -ista are used for both men and women. The article tells us who we are talking about. Here, el tells us this is a male astronaut. If it were a female astronaut, the sentence would start with la astronauta.
Could I use reparado instead of arreglado for fixing a machine?
Yes, you absolutely can. Arreglar and reparar are usually interchangeable when talking about fixing physical objects. Arreglar is a very common, everyday word, while reparar can sound slightly more technical, which also fits perfectly with fixing a satellite.
Why does satélite have a written accent?
When spoken, the stress falls on the third-to-last syllable (té). In Spanish, any word that stresses the third-to-last syllable always gets a written accent mark to show you exactly where to put the emphasis.
