This was used to mean "is she alive" when literally it should mean "will she be alive" to me. Can it be used for "is she alive"? I don't understand the construct. thanks.

Yes, it can be, especially if it is intended to mean "she is probably alive". The future can be used to indicate probability.

So "comeré algo al rato" could mean "I might eat something later" or "I will eat something later" right? gracias - jeezzle, Mar 12, 2010
Basically, yes...although it's a little more certain than "might". It's more "probably" :) - mountaingirl123, Mar 13, 2010
