This tense in French describes events or things that will happen in the future. Though there is a near future tense, this is used when actions are generally closer to happening now. The future tense is formed using the infinitive of the verb, and adding an ending. For -er and -ir verbs this is simple, but for -re verbs the final 'e' on the infinitive of the verb must be removed first. These endings are:Je -ai Tu -as Il/elle -a Nous -ons Vous -ez Illes/Elles -ont. As with most tenses and grammar rules in French, there are exceptions. This can be seen in the stem of the verb. For most verbs the endings are added on to the infinitive of the verb, but for some of the most commonly used verbs, there is a different stem. Some of these include: être - 'ser' avoir - 'aur' aller - 'ir' faire - 'fer 'pouvoir - 'pourr' devoir - 'devr' vouloir - voudr'.
