Why is "You will see..." translated to a command (Mira que...) whereas "Your will forget..." is translated to the future (olvidarás)? The structures appear to be the same.
Confused by different tenses

Hola Larry,
the first one using "mira que..." is a way of emphasising the meaning of what comes next. We have this lesson linked to that sentence:
Using the imperative of mirar/oir with different meanings
The second sentence is simply using a future tense. It is literal.
Saludos
