 THE
FUTURE
(TENSE, THAT IS!!)
 ONE WAY TO EXPRESS
THE FUTURE IN FRENCH

1. USING THE VERB “ALLER” (TO GO)

STEP 1 – TAKE THE PART OF
“ALLER” YOU NEED.

STEP 2 – COMBINE IT WITH

AN INFINITIVE.

LET’S SEE HOW

 JE VAIS = I AM GOING
TU VAS = YOU ARE GOING
IL/ELLE VA = HE/SHE IS GOING
NOUS ALLONS = WE ARE GOING
VOUS ALLEZ = YOU ARE GOING
ILS/ELLES VONT = THEY ARE GOING
BUT WHAT IS AN INFINITIVE?
IT IS THE WAY A VERB IS WRITTEN BEFORE WE DO
ANYTHING WITH IT. THIS IS HOW YOU WILL SEE IT IN
A DICTIONARY.

JOUER = TO PLAY
FAIRE = TO DO
DORMIR = TO SLEEP
 JE VAIS JOUER

= I AM GOING TO PLAY

IT’S AS EASY AS THAT!!!!!

LET’S JUST SEE ANOTHER EXAMPLE

 IL VA DORMIR

=HE IS GOING TO SLEEP

ONE MORE……
NOUS ALLONS FAIRE

= WE ARE GOING TO DO
OK LET’S SUMMERISE THE
FUTURE TENSE NOW………………
SO… TO FORM THE FUTURE TENSE
YOU NEED : 1+2
1 + 2
The present tense of the infinitive of the
the verb to go ‘aller' + verb that you want
to use
Je vais I’m going   boire (drink)
Tu vas You’re going   manger (eat)
Il/elle va He,she is going + écouter (listen)
Nous allons We’re going Jouer (play)
Vous allez you are going regarder (watch)
Ils/elles vont they’re going Visiter (visit)
AND THAT’S
HOW THE
FUTURE TENSE
WORKS IN
FRENCH.
