le futur proche

  • futur proche is equvalent to using the term “going to” in english to indicate the future
  • in french, futur proche is the near future
  • to use futur proche we conjugate the verb aller so it agrees with the subject and add an infinitive verb directly after it
    • ex :
    • je vais jouer au tennis (i am going to play tennis)
    • on va regarder un film (one is going to watch a film)
  • to make futur proche negative, we put ne…pas around the conjugated aller verb
    • ex :
    • je ne vais pas jouer au tennis
    • on ne va pas regarder un film
    • elle ne vends pas ton chat
