How do you form the future tenses (conditional, futur simple and futur proche)?

The conditional tense is used to describe what would happen in the future, whereas the future tense is what will happen.The futur simple is further in the future, the futur proche is the near future.The Conditional Tenseadd the imperfect endings to the future stemwith regular -er and -ir verbs, the endings are added onto the end of the infinitive.with -re verbs, remove the e before adding the ending!the endings are.... AIS ; AIS; AIT ; IONS ; IEZ ; AIENT The futur simpleadd the imperfect endings to the end of the infinitive, just as with the conditionalthe endings are...AI ; AS ; A ; ONS; EZ ; ONT The futur procheThe translation of this is very similar to that in englishThe future proche uses the conjugation of "aller" + the infinitive of the action which will be completed in the near futuree.g. I am going to eat some apples = Je vais manger des pommesN.B. Pronouns for this go in-between the conjugated verb and the infinitive e.g. Je vais les manger (I am going to eat them - them being the apples!)
