Voir, Savoir & Envoyer au Futur Simple

The last three irregular stems you need: verr-, saur-, enverr-.

Voir and savoir already have their own irregularities in the present tense (see our voir, savoir & connaître lesson), and they carry that irregularity into the futur too. Envoyer throws in one more surprise.

1. Voir: stem verr-

Je verrai mes amis ce week-end.I'll see my friends this weekend.
On verra bien.We'll see. (a very common expression)

2. Savoir: stem saur-

Tu sauras la réponse demain.You'll know the answer tomorrow.
Nous saurons bientôt.We'll know soon.

3. Envoyer: stem enverr-

Watch out: envoyer is a regular -yer verb almost everywhere else, but in the futur it doesn't just become "envoierai", the stem is enverr-, with a doubled r.
Je t'enverrai la photo.I'll send you the photo.
Ils enverront le colis demain.They'll send the package tomorrow.
