I will is a verb tense. Future tense. There is not word for "will". You conjugate the verb in the future tense. Yo haré is I will do/make.
You need to provide some context here Please explain what you want to say in more detail in future as Context is key to understanding and translating accurately
For example; I will go to Madrid tomorrow
= Voy a Madrid mañana
The present tense is used for events that will take place in the near future
or, I am going to do it later =
Voy a hacerlo más tarde
I will do it = lo haré (or I shall do it) using the future tense
You do not need to use personal pronouns most of the time as the verb should be conjugated for the right person eg: voy = I go, I am going

Better to say Lo haré. This shows you will do something (unspecific).
If , on the other hand, you want a simple future tense, such as I am going to do... you can use "Voy a" and whatever verb. For example, I am going to buy a book, Voy a comprar un libro.
It is right sentence: Yo haré is I will do/make.
i think "lo hare" hits it right on the nose in that situation.
As long as the context of the conversation makes it clear what action you "will be doing/performing", "Lo haré." works (It's somewhat like saying "I'll do that" [your listener needs to know what "that" refers to]).
However do not make the mistake of thinking that "haré" means "will", it doesn't; it means "I will do". As already pointed out by others, there is no word in Spanish that exactly corresponds to "will" (to mean futurity) in English. It's simply built in to the inflected form of the (whatever) verb (or into the periphrastic "going to ...") e.g. I will eat - comeré (voy a comer) / I will sing / cantaré (voy a cantar), etc.
In that case you could say: "Sí, claro' ![]()
thanks you guys..what i meant when i said "i will" is if somebody tells me to call them or come to a party..im around alot of foreigners from peru and i get stuck alot of times on how to say something and they dont speak english...i think "lo hare" hits it right on the nose in that situation...gracias a todos!!!
