erunt

Erunt is a Latin verb form meaning “they will be.” It is the third-person plural future indicative (future simple) of the verb esse, which means “to be.” The standard future forms of esse are irregular: ero, eris, erit, erimus, eritis, erunt. The form erunt carries an understood subject in the third person plural.

As a finite verb, erunt functions like any other predicative verb in a sentence, expressing a state

Formation notes: erunt arises from the irregular stem of esse, combined with the plural third-person ending

Usage examples:

- Puellae erunt laetae. (The girls will be happy.)

- Cives erunt fortes. (The citizens will be brave.)

In indirect discourse: Dixit quod erunt felices. (He said that they would be happy.)
