This document discusses the future tense in French. It covers: 1. The future tense is used to describe events that will happen later and there are three main ways to express the future in French. 2. The immediate future uses "aller" plus a verb (e.g. "Je vais jouer"). The future tense conjugates regular verbs by adding endings to the infinitive form (e.g. "Je jouerai"). The present tense can also express future events. 3. Irregular verbs have stem changes in the future tense (e.g. "être" becomes "ser").
