Tip

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-.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate partir in the futur?
The futur of partir is regular: je partirai, tu partiras, il/elle/on partira, nous partirons, vous partirez, ils/elles partiront. Full infinitive 'partir' serves as the future stem.
Why doesn't partir have a contracted futur stem?
Partir wasn't part of the contracted-stem futur family (être → ser-, avoir → aur-, faire → fer-, etc.). Its infinitive was already pronounceable as a future stem, and the -ir ending integrated cleanly with the future endings (-ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont). All regular -ir verbs follow this same predictable pattern.
When do I use 'je partirai' instead of 'je vais partir'?
Both express future leaving. 'Je partirai' (futur simple) feels slightly more formal or further in time. 'Je vais partir' (futur proche) is more conversational for near-term plans — and very common for departures: 'je vais partir bientôt' (I'm going to leave soon).
