Key learning points
- It is useful to practise recalling present, aller + infinitive, then simple future e.g. je suis, je vais être, je serai.
- It is important to include regular and common irregular simple future verbs when writing about future plans.
- Wherever possible in your writing, it is good to demonstrate that you can move between different tenses.
Keywords
Aller + infinitive - 2-verb structure meaning ‘going to + infinitive’
Simple future - 1-verb future tense meaning ‘will + verb’
Common misconception
The simple future stem of 'aller' is its infinitive, like most -er verbs.
'Aller' is an irregular verb and its stem in the simple future is ir-. The normal simple future endings are added to this stem.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens would be useful if available.
