Mardi (online lesson):
Révision “le futur proche”:
Dylan mange une pomme…hmmmmm c’est bon!
Lochlan -> Dylan va manger une pomme.
Luke: put the mange into its infinitive (manger) then use to go (in present tense) into it (dylan va + manger)
Futur proche = aller in the present tense + add the infinitive of the verb
Olivia parle à Evie. -> Olivia va parler à Evie.
Danny finit ses devoirs. -> Danny va finir ses devoirs.
Andrew va au supermarché. -> Andrew va aller au supermarché.
Le futur simple!
- Take the infinitive of the verb (manger, partir, vendre, etc.). Careful -RE verbs drop the E
- Add the endings of the futur simple: ai, as, a, onz, ez, ont (which look very similar to the verb avoir in the present tense: J’ai, Tu as, Il a, Nous avons, Vous avez, Ils ont)
- Be careful there are some irregular verbs. Learn the most important ones that you can find page 60 of your book and here https://fr.tsedryk.ca/grammaire/futur/FUTUR_SIMPLE.htm
