pondremos

Pondremos is a Spanish verb form meaning “we will put” or “we will place.” It is the first-person plural in the indicative future of the verb poner, which can also mean “to set” or “to place” depending on context. The same verb in the future has irregularity in the stem: pondr-. Therefore, pondremos is formed by the stem pondr- plus the standard future ending -emos.

Morphology and related forms: The future forms of poner follow the irregular stem pattern with pon- turning into pondr- in the singular and plural persons. Examples include pondré (I will put), pondrás (you will put), pondrá (he/she/it will put), pondremos (we will put), pondréis (you all will put), pondrán (they will put). The reflexive sense is separate when formarized as nos pondremos, meaning “we will put on” (as in clothing) or, more generally, “we will put ourselves into.”

Usage notes: Pondremos is used to describe actions planned for the future. It can appear in everyday speech, written narration, or formal contexts. Examples: “Pondremos la mesa antes de la cena” and “Pondremos en marcha el proyecto mañana.” When used with a reflexive pronoun, as in nos pondremos, the meaning shifts to reflexive constructions such as “we will put on (ourselves)” clothing or gear.

Etymology: Pondremos derives from poner, from Latin ponere, with the characteristic irregular future stem pondr- that affects all conjugations in this verb family.
