Le futur proche Objectives: to know how to form the future tense

Bonjour! Aujourd’hui, avec Ratatouille, on va apprendre à former le futur proche…

Qu’est-ce que c’est le futur proche? The near future tense is used to talk about what is going to happen in the future.

Tonight, Linguini is going to cook some delicious spaghetti I am going to eat them all! Des exemples?

How is it formed in French? It is formed from: -the present tense of aller -the infinitive of the main verb

So now, we need to learn the present tense of aller: I’m going You’re going He’s going She’s going We’re going You’re going They’re going Je vais Tu vas Il va Elle va Nous allons Vous allez Ils vont

Then, we need the infinitive! To play To do To eat To visit To go To study To be Jouer Faire Manger Visiter Aller Etudier Etre

Nous allons manger des spaghetti

Il va étudier la cuisine

Je vais danser la salsa

Ils vont visiter une maison hantée

Vous allez jouer au chat et à la souris

I am going to eat a pizza

We are going to visit Paris

He is going to play in the kitchen

I am going to do the cooking

They are going to be strict

Maintenant, écrivez! I’m going = je vais You’re going = tu vas He’s going = il va She’s going = elle va We’re going = nous allons You’re going = vous allez They’re going = ils vont Jouer = to play Faire = to do Manger = to eat Visiter = to visit Aller = to go Etudier = to study Etre = to be Continuer = to continue
