When to use the future tense

The futur simple says what will happen. In conversation “aller + infinitive” (je vais partir) is just as common for the near future.

How it is formed

Add ai, as, a, ons, ez, ont to the infinitive (dropping the final -e of -re verbs). Irregular verbs change only the stem: ser- (être), aur- (avoir), ir- (aller), fer- (faire), pourr-, voudr-, viendr-, verr-.

Faire is irregular here. 6 of 6 forms break the pattern (dark tiles above); the regular pattern would give fairai, fairas, faira, fairons, fairez, fairont.

Faire in a sentence

Irregular; used in many idioms like 'faire beau' or 'faire du sport'.
