Example in lesson:

Esta guerra habrá de acabar con la esperanza de paz de la gente.This war will put an end to people's hope for peace.

No te preocupes por lo que nunca ha de pasar.Don't worry about what will never happen.

Why is this second example not taking "haber" in the future tense also? Or is it just a bad English translation?

Hi Allison

Both tenses are used to convey the same: a future idea.

You can either conjugate haber in the future or in the present. You could also say:

"Esta guerra ha de acaber con la esperanza de paz de la gente" or

"No te preocupes por lo que nunca habrá de pasar"

They are generally interchangeable.
