Simple future - French 1-verb future tense meaning 'will + verb'
Common misconception
When saying what you will do in French, a separate word is needed for 'will'.
The simple future in French is a simple tense because it is made of one word. The idea of 'will' is created through the correct verb stem and ending. Most -er verbs use the infinitive as stem for the simple future.
