Transcript Le Futur
Le Futur Super easy once you get itcomplicated to explain. Le Futur • The future tense in French is used in an identical manner to the English. It talks about when someone WILL do something. • In English we use the helping verb will with a main verb to indicate a future action. Ex. I will finish my homework this evening. • Remember that in French, unlike in English, a verb in the future tense does not need a helping verb. Ex. Je finerai mes devoirs ce soir. -ER and –IR Verbs • To conjugate –er and –ir verbs in the future, just add the endings listed below to the end of the infinitive. To conjugate –re verbs in the future, just drop the –e from the infinitive before adding the endings. Notice that all future STEMS end in –r. Examples aimer choisir attendre Je/ J’ aimerai choisirai attendrai Tu aimeras choisiras attendras Il/Elle/On aimera choisira attendra Nous aimerons choisirons attendrons Vous aimerez choisirez attendrez Ils/Elles aimeront choisiront attendront Je travaillerai dans le resturant de mes parents.
