Questions & Answers about Los estudiantes harán el examen mañana.
Why is it "harán" instead of "hacerán" for the future tense?
Harán comes from the verb hacer (to do/make). In the future tense, hacer is irregular. Instead of keeping the full infinitive and adding the ending, its stem changes to har-. Then you add the standard future ending for "they", making it harán.
Why does "harán" translate to "will take" here? Doesn't "hacer" mean "to do" or "to make"?
I sometimes see this word written with an accent mark. Why doesn't "examen" have one here?
In its singular form, examen naturally has the spoken stress on the second-to-last syllable (ex-A-men), so the rules of Spanish say it doesn't need a written accent. However, when it becomes plural (exámenes), an extra syllable is added. A written accent is then added to keep the stress on the exact same letter.
