In French, there are two verb forms for the future tense: le futur proche <\/em>and le futur simple<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n If something is happening soon in the future, with or without a time indication, or in the more distant future with a time indication, you use the futur proche. This is formed using the verb aller<\/em> (to go). <\/p>\n Time for some example sentences!<\/p>\n I am going out for dinner tonight.<\/p>\n >> Je vais manger<\/em> au restaurant ce soir.<\/p>\n They are taking the plane.<\/p>\n >> Ils vont<\/em> prendre<\/em> l\u2019avion.<\/p>\n She is going to buy a new car this weekend.<\/p>\n Elle va acheter<\/em> une nouvelle voiture ce week-end.<\/p>\n If the event is further away, you use the futur simple.<\/p>\n Examples:<\/p>\n Next year, I will travel to Asia.<\/p>\n >> Je voyagerai<\/em> en Asie l’ann\u00e9e prochaine.<\/p>\n We will complete our studies in two years.<\/p>\n >> Nous finirons<\/em> nos \u00e9tudes dans twee ans.<\/p>\n He will do exercises every day to stay fit.<\/p>\n >> Il fera<\/em> de l’exercice tous les jours pour rester en forme.<\/p>\n How would you translate these sentences?<\/p>\n
