简单将来时

简单将来时

1. formation（形式）

The 'simple' future (le futur) is so-named because it is a one-word tense.

In other words, its formation is simple because there is no auxiliary.

The endings for the simple future are: -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont.

The future stem for -er and -ir verbs is the infinitive. For regular -re

verbs, the stem is the infinitive minus the final e. In all cases, the

future stem ends in -r: this sound characterizes the future and the

conditional.The French simple future tense is generally translated into

English with the modal auxiliary 'will.'

Listen carefully to the future conjugation of regular -er verbs, where

the e of the infinitive changes in pronunciation.

nager 'to swim'

je nagerai, I will swim nous nagerons, we will swim

tu nageras, you will swim vous nagerez, you will swim

il, elle / on nagera, ils / elles nageront, they will swim

he, she (it) / one will swim

Some -er verbs with spelling changes in the present form their future

regularly, that is, their future stem is the infinitive. These include

verbs like préférer (je préférérai), manger (je mangerai) and commen?er

(je commen?erai). Other -er verbs with spelling changes in the present

(appeler, employer, acheter) have irregular future stems.

réfléchir 'to think'

je réfléchirai, I will think nous réfléchirons, we will think

tu réfléchiras, you will think vous réfléchirez, you will think

il, elle / on réfléchira, ils / elles réfléchiront, they will think

he, she (it) / one will think

rendre 'to give back'

je rendrai, I will give back nous rendrons, we will give back

tu rendras, you will give back vous rendrez, you will give back

il, elle / on rendra, ils / elles rendront, they will give back

he, she (it) / one will give back

Many verbs which are irregular in the present tense have regular

formations in the future. Their future stems are the infinitive or the

infinitive minus the final e. Such verbs include sortir (je sortirai),

partir (je partirai), dormir (je dormirai), boire (je boirai), dire (je

dirai), écrire (j'écrirai), lire (je lirai), mettre (je mettrai), prendre

(je prendrai), and suivre (je suivrai).

2. uses（用法）

The simple future is used to refer to future events, that is, to make

predictions. It is more formal than the immediate future, although both

tenses may be used in most contexts. For further details, see future:
