How to Conjugate French Verbs Into Future Tense

The passe compose is a compound tense that can be formed by combining the following: subject + conjugated form of avoir + past participle of the verb. This works for all verbs but the following irregular verbs: Descendre, Retourner, Monter, Rester, Sortir, Passer, Venir, Aller, Naitre, Devenir, Entrer, Rentrer, Tomber, Revenir, Arriver, Mourir, and Partir. These verbs are all conjugated using the following (very similar) formula: subject + conjugated form of etre + past participle of the verb.

The future proche is a composite tense formed by combining the following: subject + conjugated form of aller + infinitive of a verb. For example, Je vais parler ("I will talk", or rather more directly translated as "I'm going to talk"), Ils vont partir ("They will leave"/"They are going to leave"), Elle va aller au restaurant ("She will go to the restaurant"/"She is going to go to the restaurant"). This formula for forming the future proche works for both regular and irregular verbs, making this one of the easier tenses to learn.

Begin with the present nous form of the verb. Remove the -ons and add ais (for je and tu), ait (for il and elle), ions (for nous); iez (for vous) ; aient (for ils and elles). For example, the imparfait first-person of aller would become j'allais.
