By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated
Mettre in the French futur simple is: je mettrai, tu mettras, il/elle/on mettra, nous mettrons, vous mettrez, ils/elles mettront. The futur simple of mettre uses the stem 'mettr-' (drop -e from infinitive). 'Je mettrai les clés ici demain' = 'I'll put the keys here tomorrow'. Same stem powers the conditionnel.

Working with the futur
The futur simple ("je parlerai") describes future actions, predictions, and conjecture about the present. In conversation it competes with the futur proche ("je vais parler" — going-to future), which is more common for near-term plans. Use the futur simple for distant or formal futures ("un jour, je voyagerai en Asie") and for conjecture ("il sera fatigué" = he must be tired). The futur stem is the full infinitive for regular verbs (parler-, finir-, vendr-), with a small set of irregular stems for high-frequency verbs: être → ser-, avoir → aur-, aller → ir-, faire → fer-, savoir → saur-, pouvoir → pourr-, vouloir → voudr-, venir → viendr-, devoir → devr-, voir → verr-.
