TWENTY-NINTH LESSON.

FUTURE TENSE.

Future Tense of Avoir* and Être.*

1. The future tense has the following terminations for all verbs, regular and irregular: rai, ras, ra, rons, rez, ront. The letter r is the final future radical; the person-endings are, ai, as, a, ons, ez, ont.

2. Indicative Mode, Future Tense of the Troo Auxiliary

Tu auras, thou wilt, or shalt have.Tu seras, thou wilt, or shalt be.

Il aura, he will, or shall have.
Nous aurons, we shall have.
Vous aurez, you will have.
Ils auront, they will have.

Il sera, he will, or shall be.
Nous serons, we shall be.
Vous serez, you will be.
Ils seront, they will be.

Formation of the Future Tense.

1. The future tense of all regular and of most rregular verbs is obtained by joining the future person-endings to the infinitive form of the verb. The verbs of the third

conjugation rose the oi of the infinitive ending oir. The verbs of the fourth conjugation drop the final e.

2. Indicative Mode, Future Tense of the Four Conju

REM. The rules of orthography for verbs ending in yer, eler, eter, and for those that have either an acute or a silent e before the consonant that precedes the ending er of the infinitive, apply to the future tense of those verbs respectively (32)

204. Indicative Mode, Future Anterior Tense.

Je répondrai à votre lettre aussitôt que je l'aurai reçue. Nous partirons dès que nous serons prêts.

ceive my money.

I shall answer your letter as soon
as I (shall) have received it.
We shall start as soon as we are
ready.

Je partirai, si mon frère arrive. I shall start if my brother arrives. Je ne sais s'il arrivera aujour- I do not know whether he will ar d'hui. rive to-day.

REM.--The verb will must be considered as a sign of the future tense, when it does not mean to be willing.
