future tense and probability

In Spanish, you use the future tense to express uncertainty or probability in the present.

¿Qué hora será?
I wonder what time it is.

Serán las seis.
It’s probably six o’clock.


Estarán debajo de tu cama.
They must be under your bed.

The English equivalents in these cases are I wonder, it’s probably, it must be, and so on.
