Spanish Word: Estará
Pronunciation: Ayhs-tah-rah
Translation: Is going to be
Function: Usage
English expression ‘is going to…’ has been wrongly incorporated into spoken Spanish in some American countries, as in ‘vamos a estar…’ [we are going to be…', where a much shorter 'estaremos...' [we'll be...] would have been enough.
You can both save words and talk a better Spanish if you avoid this practice. Use the future tense if you are comfortable using it. If you are not, then use the common construction: ‘Voy a’ + infinitive verb (in this case you don’t need to know all verb variations for the future tense)
Example:
Oscar estará ahí
Translation:
Oscar is going to be there
