Leggeranno

Leggeranno is the third person plural form of the Italian verb leggere in the futuro semplice (future simple). It expresses that “they will read” something in the future and is used with a plural subject. For example: Leggeranno il libro domani, meaning “They will read the book tomorrow.”

Formation and morphology: The futuro semplice endings are -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. For leggere (a regular -ere verb in this tense) the stem is legger- combined with the endings. The full set of forms is: leggerò, leggerai, leggevo? No, leggerà, leggeremo, leggerete, leggeranno. Specifically, leggeranno is the form used for the third-person plural.

Usage: Leggeranno is common in narrative, dialogue, and reported speech when describing future actions by multiple subjects. It refers to anticipated or predicted reading activity and does not imply completed action, which would be expressed with a past tense such as hanno letto.

Comparison: Leggeranno is distinct from present tense forms like leggono (they read) and from passato prossimo like hanno letto (they read/did read). It also contrasts with the imperfect leggevano (they were reading / they used to read) in indicating a future rather than a past ongoing action.

Etymology and overview: Leggere forms its future with the standard -ere verb endings, yielding leggerò, leggerai, leggerà, leggeremo, leggerete, leggeranno. Leggeranno, specifically, is used when the subject is plural and the action of reading is projected into the future.
