Choisis la meilleure réponse pour terminer la sentence. Prêt ? J'irai à Paris la semaine prochaine. J'irai à Paris la semaine prochaine. J'irai à Paris la semaine prochaine. J'irai à Paris la semaine prochaine. "I will go to Paris next week."

Nous utilisons "irai" dans cette phrase car c'est la forme de la future tense de la personne première singulaire du verbe "aller" . Le terme change à "ir" et le fin standard est ajouté. Donc "j'irai" veut dire "je vais y aller". Choisis la meilleure réponse pour terminer cette phrase. Prêt ? Je crois qu'il… show.

Je crois qu'il fera chaud. I think it will be hot. We use fera in this sentence because it's the third person singular future tense of the irregular verb faire, to do, to make.

The stem changes to "fer" and we add the regular future tense ending "a" forming "fera" meaning "he or it will do or make" or "it will be" in this weather context. Choose the best answer to complete the sentence. Ready ? "Ce prêt dans trente minutes."

Prêt dans trente minutes. Ce sera prêt dans trente minutes. It will be ready in thirty minutes. We use "sera" in this sentence because it's the third person singular future tense of the irregular verb "être" "to be".

The irregular stem "sœur" is used and the regular ending "a" is added to form "sœura" meaning "it will be". Unscrabble the words to make a sentence. Ready ? Je mangerai une pizza.

Je mangerai une pizza ce soir. I will eat a pizza tonight. Je mangerai une pizza ce soir. Choose the best answer to complete the sentence. Ready ? Louis prendra le train à 8 heures.

le train à 8 heures. prendra lui prendra le train à 8 heures. "Louis will take the train at 8 o'clock." We use "prendra" in this sentence because it's the third person singular future tense of the verb "prendre" "to take". Since "prendre" is a regular "re" verb,

We remove the final "e" from the infinitive and add the future tense ending "a" for "ils, elles, on". Choose the best answer to complete the sentence. Ready ? Nous visiterons / visitera le musée samedi. Nous visiterons / visitera le musée samedi. Visiterons.

Nous visiterons le musée samedi. "We will visit the museum on Saturday." We use "visiteront" in this sentence because it's the first person plural future tense of the regular "é" verbe "visiter" "to visit". With regular "é" verbs, we keep the full infinitive and add the future tense ending "on" for "nous".

Let's translate some sentences into French. Translate "Alice will buy a new book" into French. Alice, the subject, followed by "achètera", the future tense of the verb "acheter", meaning "will buy". Next, "un nouveau livre".

meaning "a new book". We use "achètera" here because it's the third person singular future tense of the verb "acheter" "to buy". "Acheter" is a regular "é" verb but with a stem change. The "i" in the root becomes "é" in the future tense for pronunciation.

Alice achètera un nouveau livre. Alice will buy a new book. Translate "My friends will play soccer after school" into French. Mes amis, the subject meaning "my friends", followed by "Jourons", the future tense of the verb "jouer" meaning "will play". Next,

au football, meaning soccer, literally to the football, followed by après l'école, meaning after school.

We use "joueront" here because it's the third person plural future tense of the regular "e" verb "jouer" "to play". For regular "e" verbs, the entire infinitive is kept and the ending "on" is added. For "ils/elles". Mes amis joueront au football après l'école.

"My friends will play soccer after school." Translate "You will see this movie tomorrow" into French. "Tu" The subject meaning "you" followed by "verra" the future tense of the verb "voir" meaning "will see". Next, "ce film" meaning "this movie".

Followed by "demain" meaning "tomorrow". We use "verra" here because it's the second person singular future tense of the irregular verb "voir" to "si". Unlike regular verbs, "voir" does not keep its full infinitive. The future stem is "ver" and the ending "a" is added for "tu".

Tu verras ce film demain. You will see this movie tomorrow. Listen to me as I speak. Which verb in the future tense do you hear in this sentence? Je crois qu'il fera chaud. Let's listen one more time. Je crois qu'il fera chaud. Did you hear ?

"FERA" from the irregular verb "FER" "to do" or "make" is used here in the future simple tense. It shows that the speaker is talking about something that will happen, in this case, the weather being hot. How about "Je mangerai une pizza ce soir." Let's listen one more time.

Je mangerai une pizza ce soir. Did you hear ? Mangerai est the future simple form of the regular "er" verbe manger "to eat". It shows that the speaker is talking about a future action, eating a pizza tonight. Next, Nous visiterons le musée Samedi. One more time.

Nous visiterons le musée samedi. Did you hear ? Visiterons is the future simple form of the regular "e" verb : visiter, to visit, conjugated for "nous". It means "the action will take place in the future", "visiting the museum on Saturday" and

Mes amis joueront au football après l'école. Did you hear ? Joueront. Joueront is the future simple form of the verb jouer, to play, conjugated for "ils/elles". It tells us that the friends will play soccer after school.
