mostrarán

Mostrarán is the futuro simple form of the Spanish verb mostrar, meaning “they will show.” It is the third-person plural form, used for ellos, ellas, or ustedes in the future tense. The form is regular for an -ar verb, built from the infinitive mostrar plus the ending -án: mostrarán.

Etymology and function: Mostrar comes from the Latin monstrare, through the evolution of Old Spanish mostrar and related Romance forms. In modern Spanish, mostrar is a transitive verb used with a direct object, as in mostrar algo. The futuro simple, including mostrarán, conveys actions that will take place later, often in narrative or explanatory contexts.

Usage notes: Mostrarán is commonly used to indicate that a group will reveal, display, or present something in the future. It can pair with nouns such as “resultados,” “documentos,” or “pruebas,” and with phrases like “mostrar interés” or “mostrar pruebas.” In discourse, it can forecast forthcoming demonstrations, presentations, or disclosures.

Examples:

- Ellos mostrarán los datos al comité mañana.

- Ustedes mostrarán sus argumentos en la reunión.

Related forms: The present tense form is muestran (they show), which involves a stem change (o → ue) in certain forms. The verb also appears in other tenses and moods with standard endings, such as mostró (preterite) and han mostrado (present perfect).
