French lesson 5 notes

 

Leçon 5 – Qu’est-ce que je ferai ?

Grammaire –

Le futur simple

Le futur simple is used for talking about the events which will take place after a long time i.e. maybe after a few months or years and therefore there can be a kind of uncertainty of happening it.

Construction of the sentence –

Subject + radical of the verb + endings ai/as/a/ons/ez/ont

Radicals of the verbs – 1) For ER verbsand IR verbs radical and the infinitive are the same.

e.g. radical of ‘chanter’ is chanter itself. So take the whole verb and add the endings as per the subject.

Note these radicals – acheter – achèter

                                         Peser – pèser

                                          Jeter-jetter

                                          Appeler –appeller

                                          Employer – emploir

e.g. regarder – to see

Je regarderai – I will see

Tu regarderas – you will see

Il/Elle/On regardera – He/She/Everybody will see

Nous regarderons – we will see

Vous regarderez – you will see

Ils/elles regarderont – they will see

Radical of ‘remplir’ is remplir itself.

e.g. choisir – to choose

Je choisirai – I will choose

Tu choisiras – you will choose

Il/Elle/On choisira – he/she/everbody will choose

Nous choisirons – we will choose

Vous choisirez – you will choose

Ils/elles choisiront – they will choose

 

2)  For RE verbs remove R from the infinitive and the remaining verb is infinitive. E.g. radical of ‘vendre’ is ‘vendr’.

e.g. vendre – to sell

Je vendrai – I will sell

Tu vendras – you will sell

Il/Elle/On vendra – He/she/Everybody will sell

Nous vendrons – we will sell

Vous vendrez – you will sell

Ils/Elles vendront – they will sell
