something is going to happen in the immediate future (the
futur proche). To talk about something that will happen
further ahead in time, use the futur simple.

The futur simple
• To talk about events that might occur in the future, use a
si... (if...) construction. Use the present tense in the si

in the main clause. Remember that si and il contract to
become s’il.
