Questions & Answers about Habremos visto un gran avance en esta década.
Why does the Future Perfect here use visto?
Visto is the irregular past participle of the verb ver (to see). You combine the future tense of haber (which is habremos for we) with this past participle to form the Future Perfect: habremos visto (we will have seen).
Can habremos visto mean something other than 'we will have seen'?
Yes. In Spanish, the Future Perfect is often used to express probability, wonder, or a guess about a past action. Depending on the conversation, this sentence could also mean 'We must have seen a great advance in this decade' or 'We probably saw a great advance'.
Why is it gran avance instead of grande avance?
How can I tell the gender of avance?
Avance is masculine, which we know here because it uses the masculine article un. Nouns ending in the letter -e do not follow a strict gender rule, so it is always best to memorize them along with their article, like el avance.
