      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. Conjugate the future tense of -er verbs by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive.
      2. It is helpful to practise spoken recall of present, aller + infinitive, and simple future, as part of a 'verb workout'.
      3. In French the stress or emphasis usually falls on the last syllable of a word or phrase.

      Keywords

      • Aller + infinitive - 2-verb structure meaning 'going to + infinitive'

      • Simple future - 1-verb future tense meaning 'will + verb'

      Common misconception

      In French, the stress is placed on the first syllable of a word, like in English.

      In French, the stress is ususally placed on the final syllable of a word, although stress is not as strong in French as it is in English.
