começará

Começará is the third-person singular form of the Portuguese verb começar in the futuro do presente (simple future), meaning "he/she/it will begin" or "will start." The form is used to indicate an action that will take place in the future and is common in both Brazilian and European Portuguese, though its frequency varies by dialect and context.

Formation and usage: Começar is an -ar verb, and in the futuro do presente the third-person singular is formed by adding the ending -ará to the stem começ- (the infinitive stem after removing -ar). Thus, the full form is começará. The corresponding full set of futuro do presente endings for começo esser are: eu começarei, tu começarás, ele/ela começará, nós começaremos, vós começareis, eles começarão. In Brazilian Portuguese, the tu form is less common, while in European Portuguese you may hear tu começarás and vós começareis.

Examples: Ele começará o projeto amanhã. Quando começará a reunião? These sentences illustrate using começará to refer to a future starting action, either as a factual prediction or a scheduled event.

Relation to other futures: Começará can be replaced in many contexts by the periphrastic future vai começar (he will start), which is more common in informal speech. The form começará is typically used in written language, formal contexts, or where a simple future is stylistically preferred.

Related forms: The infinitive is começar; other forms include começo (present), começando (gerund), começou (preterite). The orthography highlights the cedilla in começo para manter a soft s sound before a, o, ou.
