The "futur proche" is perhaps the most popular way to describe something that happens in the future. It is extremely easy to form and no exceptions! To form the "futur proche":

conjugated present indicative form of "aller" + infinitive of literally any verb

In English, this is the equivalent of saying "I am going to do something in the future". It is also known as the "Present Continuous Tense" in English.

Here are some examples:

  • Je vais manger - I am going to eat.

  • Tu vas manger - You are going to eat.

  • Il va manger - He is going to eat.

  • Nous allons manger - We are going to eat.

  • Vous allez manger - You are going to eat.

  • Elles vont manger - They are going to eat.

Here are some more examples with different verbs:

  • Je vais aller à l'école demain - I am going to go to school tomorrow.

  • Tu vas danser devant la classe la semaine prochaine - You are going to dance in front of the class next week.

  • Il va terminer ses attitudes négatives - He is going to stop his negative attitudes.

  • Nous allons conduire - We are going to drive.

  • Vous allez parler avec Jean-Paul demain - You are going to speak with Jean-Paul tomorrow.

  • Elles vont choisir leurs cours pour l'année prochaine - They are going to choose their courses for next year.

Remember, the "futur proche" has literally NO EXCEPTIONS! You can basically stick any verb after the conjugated "aller" and it would work! That is the beauty of the "futur proche".
