Grammaire Le futur proche
As in English, the near future is used for expressing one’s intentions, things one plans to do, or events likely to happen soon, e.g.: Qu’est-ce que tu vas faire demain ? What are you going to do tomorrow? Je vais organiser une fête avec mes amis. I’m going to organise a party with my friends. To form the near future, use the present tense of aller and add the infinitive.

Il / elle / on Nous Vous
Ils / elles
Aller vais vas va

If the infinitive verb is reflexive, remember to adapt the pronoun: Je
ils
Nous allons nous lever Vous allez vous lever vont se lever
In the negative form, n’ / ne … pas goes either side of the verb aller: Je ne vais pas me lever tôt ce weekend.
