Aller, Faire & Venir au Futur Simple

Three more irregular stems, ir-, fer-, viendr-, same familiar endings.

These three high-frequency verbs each get their own short, irregular futur stem, but just like avoir and être in our previous lesson, the endings stay completely regular.

Nous irons au marché samedi.We'll go to the market Saturday.

2. Faire: stem fer-
