Questions & Answers about Pronto habrá hormigas con antenas más cortas.

Why is it habrá (singular) and not habrán, since hormigas is plural?

This is the core rule of impersonal haber (meaning "there is/are" or "there will be"). In standard Spanish, it never pluralizes to match the noun that follows it. Even though hormigas is plural, you must use the third-person singular habrá, not habrán.

Could I say va a haber instead of habrá?

Absolutely. va a haber is the informal future and is extremely common in spoken Latin American Spanish. Notice that the rule for impersonal haber still applies here: you use the singular va a haber, never van a haber, even when talking about plural ants.

Why does más cortas come after antenas?

In Spanish, descriptive adjectives generally follow the noun they describe. When you use más to make a comparative (like "shorter" or literally "more short"), the whole phrase más cortas acts as the adjective and goes after the noun, giving us antenas más cortas.

Why is it cortas and not corto?

Adjectives must match the noun they modify in both gender and number. Since antenas is a feminine plural noun, the adjective must also be the feminine plural cortas.
