comerán

Comerán is the simple future tense form of the Spanish verb comer, meaning “to eat.” It is the third-person plural form and, in most dialects, the form used for ustedes (you all) as well, to express “they will eat” or “you all will eat.” In Spain, the informal second-person plural form is different, with vosotos comeréis; comerán remains the ustedes/ellos/ellas form.

Formation: The simple future in Spanish is formed by attaching the standard endings to the infinitive. For comer, the full paradigm is: comeré, comerás, comerá, comeremos, comeréis, comerán. Comerán is thus formed by adding -án to the infinitive comer.

Usage: Comerán expresses actions that will occur in the future. It can convey simple prediction, intention, or a planned future event, and it appears in both declarative statements and reported speech.

Pronunciation and accent: Comerán is pronounced co-me-RÁN, with the stress on the last syllable, indicated by the acute accent over the a.

Etymology and classification: Comer is a regular -er verb in Spanish. The future tense endings (-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án) are attached to the infinitive, and comerán is the standard form for the third-person plural in both formal and informal plural contexts in much of the Spanish-speaking world.
