Ocorrerão

Ocorrerão is a verb form in Portuguese, specifically the futuro do presente do indicativo (future simple) of the verb ocorrer. It expresses that something will take place or happen in the future, with a plural subject. In standard usage, ocorrer means to occur or to take place, and ocorr erão corresponds to “they will occur” or, in everyday Brazilian Portuguese, “you all will occur/happen.”

Etymology and form: Occorrer derives from Latin origins, with a sense related to meeting or coming to pass. In modern Portuguese, ocorrer is conjugated like other regular -er verbs in the futuro do presente, giving a form such as ocorrerão for the third person plural. This form is used when the subject is plural, for example a group or multiple events.

Usage: Ocorrerão is typically used in formal or written contexts to describe events, phenomena, or incidents that are expected to happen. It can appear in reports, forecasts, schedules, and policy documents. In everyday speech, speakers more frequently use synonyms such as acontecerá or vai acontecer, though ocorrerá remains correct and precise in formal registers. The verb often appears with time expressions that specify when the events will take place, such as durante o próximo mês, no decorrer da semana, or ao longo do dia.

Examples:

- Os problemas ocorrerão durante a implementação do projeto.

- As mudanças ocorrerão nos próximos meses.

Notes: Ocorrer is distinct from acontecer, though they are often interchangeable in meaning. Ocorrer tende a emphasize the occurrence as an event or process, while acontecer is more common in colloquial speech.
