The owl asks, “IS THIS HOW I’LL SPENT MY
LIFE, FOR ONE PURPOSE?”
Perhaps it’s okay for an owl to say this because owls aren’t very smart. But the word “SPENT” (past tense) should obviously be “SPEND”.
“I will spend” is forward looking and correct.
“I will spent” is simultaneously forward looking (“I will”) and backward looking (“spent”) and is thus incoherent.
