1. IRREGULAR FUTURE Maggie Korn Rebecca Dunn

2. Recall… The future tense is used to express what a person will do. The future is formed by taking the infinitive of a verb and adding the corresponding future ending. But dont forget! Remove the e from -re verbs before adding the future ending.

3. Future Endings Je -ai Tu -as Il/elle -a Nous -ons Vous -ez Ils/elles -ont

4. Example: I will sing. = Je chanterai.
