cometerá

Cometerá is a verb form that appears in both Spanish and Portuguese, serving as the future tense. It translates roughly as “he will commit” or “she will commit” in English, and more broadly as “will undertake” or “will incur” depending on context. It is derived from the infinitive cometer, which covers actions such as committing a crime, making an error, or undertaking an act. The form is used when the subject is third person singular in the future.

Conjugation and spelling: In Spanish, cometer is a regular -er verb, and the future endings are added to the infinitive: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Thus “cometerá” corresponds to “él/ella/Ud. cometerá.” In Portuguese, it is also a regular -er verb; “cometerá” equals “ele/ela/você cometerá.” The acute accent on the final “á” marks the stressed syllable. In both languages the form is attached directly to the infinitive, without internal changes to the stem.

Usage: Cometerá is used to indicate a future action performed by a subject. Common collocations include “cometer un error” or “cometer un delito/crime” in Spanish, and “cometer um erro” or “cometer um crime” in Portuguese. It appears in predictions, statements about consequences, or descriptions of planned or potential actions, as in “Él cometerá un error si no revisa su informe” or “Ela cometerá um crime se não cumprir o acordo.”

Etymology: The verb cometer derives from Latin committere, formed from com- (together) and mittere (to send). In the Romance languages, the future form for this verb, including “cometerá,” developed as a synthetic tense to express future actions.
