le futur simple
used for : saying something that’s going to happen in the far future, predicting an event, weather predictions
translated into english as “will”
je finirai mes devoirs - i will finish my homework
conjugation :
start with infinitive verb
remove the e for verbs that end in -re
add appropriate ending (avoir conjugation)
subject | infinitive | ending |
---|---|---|
je | regarder | ai |
tu | jouer | as |
il/elle/on | finir | a |
nous | choisir | ons |
vous | vend(re) | ez |
ils/elles | perd(re) | ont |
part that we add the ending to is called the “radical”
for regular futur simple, the radical is the infinitive of the verb
irregular radicals
normally, devenir tenir, and revenir are conjugated like venir
HOWEVER to conjugate these verbs in FUTUR SIMPLE, add the same terminology used for regular verbs
infinitive | radical |
---|---|
être | ser |
aller | ir |
pouvoir | pourr |
vouloir | voudr |
devoir | devr |
voir | verr |
acheter | achèter |
avoir | aur |
faire | fer |
savoir | saur |
venir | viendr |
mourir | mourr |
envoyer | enverr |
lever | lèver |
si (if) is often followed by a verb conjugated in the present tense the other proposition will be in the future simple tense
ex :
si, j’ai le temps aujourd’hui, je viendrai chez toi apres ll
ecole
si elle vveut me voir, elle m’appelera
si on fait tout le travail, on reussira
use quand or lorsque to say that the action will take place at the same time as or after another action
in these types of sentences, the two words have the same meaning.
in english, we use the present + future simple, but in french, the two verbs go together in the future simple.
ex :
quand je serai prete, nous partirons (when i am ready, we will leave
)
quand j’aurai le temps, je viendrai chez moi (when i have time, i will live in your house)
lorsqu’elle voudra me voir, elle m’appellera (when she wants to see me, she'll call me)
idk for sure but i’ve noticed lorsque is used usually for elle/il/elles/ils
