The Future Tense
In English, it is often called the 'Shall / Will tense'.
To talk about the IMMEDIATE future, use aller plus an infinitive
Examples:
Je vais partir tôt le matin- I am going to leave early in the morning
Nous allons continuer au collége- We are going to continue to college
It is used to describe a less defininite, more remote future.
The future tense of regular verbs is formed by taking the infinitive of the verb and adding the endings from the verb AVOIR:
ai |
as |
a |
ons |
ez |
ont |
For 'RE' verbs, the final 'e' is dropped before the endings are added!
Examples:
Manger- Je mangerai- I will eat
Choisir- Tu choisiras- You will choose
Vendre- Ils vendront- They will sell
