Questions & Answers about Usted recibirá el paquete mañana.
Why is the ending -á added to the full verb recibir instead of taking off the -ir first?
In Spanish, the simple future tense is formed differently than most other tenses you have learned so far. Instead of removing the -ar, -er, or -ir ending, you keep the whole infinitive verb (like recibir) and add the future endings directly to the end of it. For usted, the ending is -á, making it recibirá.
Why does recibirá have an accent mark on the last letter?
Almost all simple future tense endings in Spanish have a written accent mark. In recibirá, the accent tells you to put the spoken stress on that final syllable (re-ci-bi-RÁ). Without it, the standard pronunciation rules would force the stress onto the second-to-last syllable.
Since Spanish often drops subject pronouns, why is usted included here?
While you can perfectly well say recibirá el paquete mañana, including usted (the formal 'you') helps avoid confusion. The verb form recibirá is also used for 'he' (él) or 'she' (ella). Adding usted makes it absolutely clear who will receive the package, and it adds a polite tone that fits perfectly with a formal business statement like this.
Doesn't mañana usually mean 'morning'? How do we know it means 'tomorrow' here?
