Intro: Welcome to the French Made Easy podcast, where I give you all the basics you need to speak French clearly and confidently. I'm your host, Mathilde, and I'm a French teacher, mumpreneur, and bread and cheese lover. Join me as I dive into all things French for beginners, and deliver to you bite-sized and easy-to-follow lessons every Tuesday. Let's get started, "on commence"!

Helloooo everyone, bonjour tout le monde. 💖 Welcome back to the French Made Easy podcast, this is episode number 105, numéro 105!

Today we are doing some conjugation! If you've been following the podcast for a while, you know that I really insist on you learning the most common irregular verbs by heart, so that's what we are doing today. 

So in this episode, we will learn the French verb "aller" which means "to go" conjugated in the future tense, and more precisely the simple future tense. So "I will go, you will go etc."

Before we start, if you're new here, make sure you have your lesson's cheat sheet in front of you so you can see the words while listening to the lesson. Once you've finished listening to the lesson, make sure you head over to the French Made Easy exercise library, so you can practice what you've learned today. All the download links are in the episode notes on the podcast platform you're listening to.

Now, we already learned the conjugation in the present tense of that verb back many, many episodes ago, on episode number 23, so if you haven't listened to that one yet, start with episode 23.  

Alright et's see the future tense (simple future tense) conjugation of "aller" (to go), and we'll see some examples in a few minutes.

RĂ©pĂ©tez après moi, repeat after me. 

  • j'irai (I will go)

  • tu iras (you will go, singular informal)

  • il ira (he will go)

  • elle ira (she will go)

  • on ira (we will go, informal)

  • nous irons (we will go)

  • vous irez (you will go, plural or singular formal)

  • ils iront (they will go, masculine)

  • elles iront (they will go, feminine)

OK parfait. Now let's see some examples. We'll reuse similar examples as episode 23 with the present tense conjugation. So it's easy.

  • J'irai au supermarchĂ© plus tard. (I will go to the supermarket later.)

  • Tu iras quand Ă  la plage ? (When will you go to the beach?) 🏖

  • Il ira Ă  la bibliothèque cet après-midi. (He will go to the library this afternoon.) đź“š

  • Elle ira Ă  la piscine demain matin. (She will go to the pool tomorrow morning.) 🏊‍♀️

  • Ils iront au cinĂ©ma ce week-end. (They will go to the cinema on the weekend.) 🍿
