Did you know?
- In certain legal or administrative contexts, the future tense sera can function as an imperative, essentially commanding that something 'shall be' done.
- The word sera is a homophone of serre, which can mean a 'greenhouse' or the action of 'squeezing'.
- The word sera can appear in the common phrase ça sera, but in very informal spoken French, this often contracts into ça s'ra to speed up the sentence.
