Grammar Point: future verb forms

To indicate future actions, you can use a form of aller ("to go"), followed by another verb, e.g.: Je vais faire mes devoir ("I'm going to do my homework"). A second possibility would be to use the future ending, e.g:. Je ferai ("I will do"), fera ("He/She will do"). You can learn more about future verb forms here and here.
