Questions & Answers about Para la próxima década, habrán encontrado la cura.
Why is it habrán encontrado instead of just encontrarán?
Habrán encontrado is the Future Perfect tense, which translates to "will have found." It is used to talk about an action that will be fully completed before a specific deadline in the future. If you used the simple future (encontrarán), it would just mean "they will find," without emphasizing that the action will already be finished by that time.
How exactly is habrán encontrado formed?
It is made of two parts: the future tense of the helper verb haber (here it is habrán, meaning "they will have") plus the past participle of the main verb encontrar (which is encontrado). Remember that the past participle always ends in -o in these compound tenses; it does not change to match who is doing the action.
Why do we use para here to mean "by"?
Wait, doesn't cura mean "priest"?
The meaning of cura changes depending on its grammatical gender. When it is feminine (la cura), as it is in this sentence, it means "the cure" or "the medical treatment." When it is masculine (el cura), it means "the priest."
