Confirmarás

Confirmarás is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb confirmar in the simple future tense. It indicates that the subject (tú) will perform the action of confirming at some point in the future. The verb confirmar is regular in its -ar conjugation, and the future simple endings are attached directly to the infinitive: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Therefore, the form confirmarás carries the stress on the last syllable, conforming to standard Spanish orthography.

Grammatical classification: confirmarás is in the indicative mood, future tense, second person singular. It corresponds to other future forms such as confirmaré (I will confirm) and confirmará (he/she/you formal will confirm). In many Spanish varieties, the simple future is used similarly to the periphrastic future formed with ir a + infinitive (vas a confirmar), but confirmarás remains a concise, direct alternative for tú.

Usage: It is used to state a planned or expected action by someone addressed as tú. Examples include: “Mañana confirmarás la hora de la reunión.” or “Si todo sale bien, confirmarás la reserva.” The form is common in both written and spoken Spanish. In some contexts, especially informal speech, speakers may prefer periphrastic constructions, but confirmarás is widely understood and appropriate in formal or neutral writing.

Regional notes: The form is used with tú in varieties that distinguish tú from usted. In regions that employ voseo, the same spelling confirmarás is typically used for the vos form in the future as well. Related forms include confirmaré, confirmarás, confirmará, confirmaremos, confirmaréis, y confirmarán, as part of the full conjugation of the verb.

Etymology: derived from Latin confirmare, meaning to strengthen, establish, or approve, through the medieval Spanish development of -ar infinitives and future endings.
