le futur simple

  • in November 9 slideshow

  • is a verb tense used to describe an action that’ll happen in the more general/less specific future

  • usually used for hypothetical events or events that are more separate from the present moment

  • also in sentences that use a subordinate clause of time, introduced by “when” or “as soon as”

To form le futur simple (regular)

  • Subject + verb in the infinitive (except for -RE verbs) + special ending

    • special endings are the conjugations for avoir, except for nous and vous: for avoir, nous would be conjugated as - avons, and vous would be conjugated as - avez. For the futur simple, nous is conjugated as -ons, and vous is conjugated as -ez

  • ER and IR verbs - stay in the infinitive RE verbs - remove the ‘e’ and add ending

Je

-ai

Tu

-as

Il/Elle/On

-a

Nous

-ons

Vous

-ez

Ils/Elles

-ont

ex. Je + finir = Je finirai (I will finish)

Je + prendre = Je prendrai ( I will take)
