cuidarás

Cuidarás is a verb form in Spanish, the second-person singular of the future indicative of cuidar, meaning "you will take care of" or "you will look after." It is used to refer to actions that the subject will perform at some point in the future.

Form and conjugation: Cuidar is an -ar verb. In the tú form of the future tense, the ending -ás is added to the infinitive stem, giving cuidarás. The accent on the a marks the stress on the final syllable in this tense. The corresponding forms for other subjects are: cuidaré (yo), cuidará (él/ella/usted), cuidaremos (nosotros), cuidaréis (vosotros), cuidarán (ellos/ellas/ustedes).

Usage notes: Cuidarás expresses a deliberate future action. It is common with time expressions such as mañana, más tarde, o en el futuro cercano. It can convey intention, promise, or expectation regarding what you will do. In spoken Spanish, it can appear in subordinate clauses within sentences about plans or responsibilities, as in “Cuando llegues, cuidarás de todo.”

Examples:

- Mañana cuidarás de las plantas del jardín.

- Tú cuidarás de tus hermanos cuando yo no esté.

Related forms: The verb appears in other persons and tenses with predictable endings (cuidaré, cuidará, cuidaremos, cuidaréis, cuidarán). The imperative tú form is cuida, and the negative or interrogative forms adjust accordingly (no cuidas, ¿cuidarás?).
