In Italian, the future tense of -are verbs like pagare is formed on a stem that typically uses -er-, with the endings -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. For pagare, the correct forms are io pagherò, tu pagherai, lui/lei pagherà, noi pagheremo, voi pagherete, loro pagheranno. The letter h is inserted after the r to preserve the soft g pronunciation before the vowels e and i.

Usage of pagheranno is straightforward: it conveys a future payment by a plural subject. It can appear in statements about deadlines, agreements, or conditional clauses. Examples include: “Pagheranno la fattura entro venerdì” and “Se pagheranno subito, otterranno uno sconto.” It is distinct from related forms such as pagherai (you will pay) or pagherà (he/she will pay), which refer to different subjects.

These languages exhibit similar future formations, using a stem modification and the corresponding person endings. The word is also connected to terms like pagamento and pagamento in Italian, which relate to payment more broadly.
