Forming the future tense is simple! The future is used whenever you want to express what WILL happen!
You take the verb in the infinitive form and add the future endings (which are basically the verb AVOIR)
Endings: je - AI nous - ONS *inside the shoe, the endings are AVOIR*
tu - AS vous - EZ
il - A elles - ONT
Examples MANGER FINIR VENDRE (*you do need to take the E off*)
JE mangerai finirai vendrai
TU mangeras finiras vendras
IL mangera finira vendra
NOUS mangerons finirons vendrons
VOUS mangerez finirez vendrez
ELLES mangeront finiront vendront
