cubriréis

Cubriréis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb cubrir in the futuro simple (indicativo). It denotes that you all will perform the action in the future and corresponds to “you all will cover” in English. In regions where the pronoun vosotros is standard, cubrí’s form is used; in much of Latin America, the equivalent future for ustedes is cubrirán.

Morphology and form: The futuro simple for cubrir is regular, formed by adding the endings -éis to the infinitive cubrir. Therefore, the full paradigm in this tense is cubriré, cubrirás, cubrirá, cubriremos, cubriréis, cubrirán. There is no stem change in this tense for cubrir, and the accent on -éis marks the stressed syllable.

Usage and examples: Cubriréis is used for transitive actions meaning to cover something physically or to cover in the sense of reporting or providing coverage. Examples: Mañana cubriréis las mesas con lonas para la exposición. Si llueve, cubriréis el puesto de la feria con plástico. The form is appropriate when addressing a group you are speaking to in environments where vosotros is used.

Regional variation: The use of cubríéis presupposes the vosotros form, common in Spain and some parts of the Caribbean. In most of Latin America, the corresponding future form for ustedes is cubrirán, and the vosotros form is generally replaced by ustedes in everyday speech. Etymology and related forms stem from the verb cubrir, meaning to cover, with its regular future conjugation in this tense.
