Correranno

Correranno is the third-person plural form of the Italian verb correre in the futuro semplice (simple future). It translates to “they will run” in English and is used to describe an action that is expected to take place in the future when the subject is plural.

Etymology and grammar: Correre derives from Latin currere. In the futuro semplice the endings for -ere verbs are added to the verb stem, yielding forms such as correrò, correrai, correrà, correremo, correte, correranno. The form correranno thus marks the future tense for a plural subject. The pronunciation includes the characteristic double r and the stress typically falls on the syllable with the stem.

Usage: Correranno appears in narratives, reports, sports contexts, and everyday speech whenever a plural subject is described as performing the action of running in the future. Examples include: “Gli atleti correranno la maratona domani” (The athletes will run the marathon tomorrow) and “Le cavalle correranno sul prato al mattino” (The horses will run on the meadow in the morning). It can also surface in indirect speech or clauses expressing expectation or prediction.

Translations and equivalents: In English, correranno most often corresponds to “they will run.” Depending on context, it may be rendered as a simple future or, in some cases, as a near future with a sense of planned action.
