Questions & Answers about El profesor nos dará el temario mañana.
English speakers often look up the word syllabus and find sílabo. Why does this sentence use temario?
In Spain, temario is the most natural word for the list of topics or agenda covered in a course. You might also hear el programa for the overall course guide. While sílabo is a direct translation and is used in some Latin American countries, it is very rarely used in Spain.
Is it also correct to say va a dar instead of the future tense dará here?
Yes, va a dar is very common in spoken Spanish for near-future plans. Using the future tense dará just sounds slightly more formal, which fits well when talking about a teacher's scheduled plan or a guaranteed event.
If I change the verb to va a dar, where exactly should I put the pronoun nos?
Does profesor specifically mean a university professor in Spain?
No, profesor is used for teachers at almost all educational levels in Spain, including middle and high school. The word maestro is typically reserved for primary school or elementary teachers.
