The future tense.

Tomorrow, they will visit their uncle.
The cat will chase the mouse.
The weather will be nice in the

How to form the future in French.
To form the future tense of regular verbs in
French is quite simple.
We need two things:
1) the infinitive of the verb
2) the correct endings.
The future of er and ir verbs.
To form the future tense of
regular er and ir verbs we
add the following endings to
the infinitive:
manger = to eat
je mangerai =
tu mangeras =
il mangera =
elle mangera =
I will eat
you will eat
he will eat
she will eat
nous mangerons = we will eat
vous mangerez = you will eat
ils mangeront = they will eat
elles mangeront = they will eat
finir = to finish
Write out the future tense of the verb finir.
Follow the same pattern as you did for
manger.
Regular re verbs
To form the future tense of re verbs we do
exactly the same as for er and ir verbs
except that we take the e off the end of the
infinitive first.
e.g.
Write out the future tense of
vendre = to sell
