1. IRREGULAR FUTURE Maggie Korn Rebecca Dunn

2. Recall… The future tense is used to express what a person will do. The future is formed by taking the infinitive of a verb and adding the corresponding future ending. But don’t forget! Remove the “e” from -re verbs before adding the future ending.

3. Future Endings Je -ai Tu -as Il/elle -a Nous -ons Vous -ez Ils/elles -ont

4. Example: I will sing. = Je chanterai.

5. But… Some verbs are irregular and cannot be formed by simply adding the future ending to the infinitive. These verbs have irregular stems, and the future endings listed before must be added to these irregular stems.
