Questions & Answers about ¿Abriréis la tienda mañana?
What tense is abriréis and how is it formed?
Abriréis is the future tense for vosotros (the informal plural "you" used in Spain). To form the future tense for regular verbs, you keep the entire infinitive word (abrir) and attach the future ending (-éis). So, abrir + éis = abriréis (you guys will open).
Why isn't the word for "you guys" (vosotros) included in the sentence?
Could I say ¿Vais a abrir? instead of ¿Abriréis?
Yes, absolutely! Using the verb ir + a + infinitive (like vais a abrir) is a very common way to talk about the future in Spanish, translating roughly to "are you guys going to open". In everyday conversation, vais a abrir and abriréis can be used interchangeably to ask about tomorrow.
Why does abriréis have an accent mark on the letter 'e'?
In the Spanish future tense, almost all the verb endings have an accent mark to show where your voice should emphasize the word. The endings are -é, -ás, -á, -éis, and -án (only the nosotros ending, -emos, doesn't have one). This accent tells you to stress that final syllable when speaking.
