CLÉ À LA GRAMMAIRE Deuxième partie : Le futur simple The futur simple is not a difficult tense, but, unlike its name, it is more difficult than the futur proche.
Règle To form this tense for ER and IR verbs, you keep the entire verb in its infinitive form, and add the future endings.
Pronoun Ending je
tu il
elle on
nous vous ils
elles
–ai –as –a –a –a
–ons –ez
–ont –ont
Let’s put the endings onto the verb parler to see what it looks like. Parler
je parlerai tu parleras il parlera elle parlera on parlera nous parlerons vous parlerez ils parleront elles parleront
p Je parlerai français comme une vache espagnole.
Note Like most tenses, there are exceptions, for example j’aurai. Tese are listed on page 133.
