afilarás

Afilarás is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb afilar in the futuro simple (simple future). It translates to "you will sharpen" in English and denotes a future action performed by the person addressed. The form follows the regular pattern for -ar verbs: the infinitive afilar plus the ending -ás for tú, with the stress on the last syllable (a-fi-la-RÁS).

Morphology and usage notes: afilar is a regular -ar verb, so afilarás is formed by adding -ás to the infinitive. The accent on the final syllable marks the appropriate stress in this future form. The pronoun tú is often implicit, but can be included for emphasis (Tú afilarás las herramientas). In contexts where a periphrastic future is preferred, you can also say vas a afilar or vas a afilar las herramientas.

Examples:

- Mañana afilarás las cuchillas del nevera o de la cocina.

- ¿Qué herramientas afilarás primero?

- Si trabajas mucho, afilarás tu capacidad para hacer cortes precisos.
