I can use 'aller + infinitive' and the simple future of -er verbs to say what I or someone else will do in the context of studying.
Key learning points
- [r] sounds like 'rue' and [a] sounds like 'animal'.
- Aller + infinitive is a 2-verb structure to express what is going to happen.
- The simple future in French is a 1-verb future tense meaning will + verb. It's 'simple' as it's formed with one word.
- We conjugate the future tense of -er verbs for je, tu, il/elle/on by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a to the infinitive.
Words to know
- aller + infinitive
- 2-verb future structure meaning 'going to + infinitive'
- simple future
- French 1-verb future tense meaning 'will + verb'
Common mistakes
When saying what you will do in French, a separate word is needed for 'will'.
The simple future in French is a simple tense because it is made of one word. The idea of 'will' is created through the correct verb stem and ending. Most -er verbs use the infinitive as stem for the simple future.
