Common misconception
There are distinct words required in French to translate 'will' and 'would'.
The 1-verb future tense describes 'will + verb'. The conditional describes 'would + verb'. Students should be aware that both verb forms are 'simple' forms as all the meaning is contained within a single word.
Equipment
