serán

Serán is the third-person plural simple future indicative form of the Spanish verb ser. It corresponds to they will be, or you (plural) will be, with the subject implied or stated.

Usage: Serán is used to express a state or identity that will exist in the future. Examples include: "Cuando lleguen, serán recibidos" (When they arrive, they will be received) and "Ellos serán maestros algún día" (They will be teachers someday).

Formation and etymology: The form is built from the infinitive ser plus the future ending -án for third-person plural. The stem ser is irregular in several tenses, but the future endings themselves are regular. Etymologically, ser derives from the Latin esse, with the Spanish verb evolving through Old Spanish from that root.

Notes: Serán carries an acute accent on the a, indicating stress on the final syllable, as is standard for Spanish future forms. It should not be confused with other tenses of ser, such as seré, serás, será, seremos, or seréis, which correspond to other persons and moods.
