Questions & Answers about Probablemente mi hermano se va a teñir de rubio mañana.
Why is this sentence using the indicative va instead of the subjunctive vaya after probablemente?
Adverbs of probability like probablemente can take either the indicative or the subjunctive. Because the speaker used the indicative (va), it means they feel quite certain that this will happen. If they were more doubtful, they would have used the subjunctive (vaya).
Could the se go somewhere else in the phrase se va a teñir?
Why do we need the word de before rubio?
In Spanish, when you talk about dyeing or painting something a specific color, you usually use the preposition de before the color name. It acts a bit like saying he will dye his hair into the color blonde.
