The simple future
The future is named “simple” as opposed to the future future (which itself is composed). It is a time of the indicative. It has as endings (for the three groups):
I – have
you –
he / she –
we – we –
you –
they – have – have
In the first and second groups, the radical corresponds to the infinitive of the verb followed by the endings of the future.
I will eat
Attention!
The “e” of the first group is not always pronounced but it should not be forgotten.
First group: “eat”
I will eat
You will eat
He / she will eat
We will eat
You will eat
They will eat
Second group: “finish”
I will finish
You will finish
He / she will finish
We will finish
You will finish
They will finish
In the third group, the verbs whose infinitive ends with -e lose this letter to the simple future.
I will
say You will say
He / She / We will say
We will
tell You will
say They will say
For many verbs that end in -ir or -oir, we add a -r to the radical.
Example : Browse Example: Duty
I will be traveling I will be
traveling You will be traveling
He / she / We will be traveling He / She / We will be
traveling We will
be traveling You will be
They will be traveling They will be

You will go
He / She / It will go
we will go
