  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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
