The simple future indicative or future de l'indicatif in french, is a simple tense. This tense is not formed with an auxiliary.
The simple future indicative endings correspond to the present indicative of the verb avoir. They are always regular: -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont pronounced /e, a, a, ɔ̃, e, ɔ̃/.
Between the future stem and these endings the infinitive ending is inserted, though the pronunciation of the -er infinitive changes from /e/ to /(ə)ʀ/. In other words, to form the future tense these endings are appended to the infinitive: Je finirai, tu parleras, elle sortira, nous travaillerons, vous rougirez, ils partiront.
But there are several irregular future stems, especially in the third group.
Example: je descendrai, the ending e of the infinitive descendre is removed for the verbs of the third groups ending with re.
The following verbs have a double r in future forms: envoyer, renvoyer (j'enverrai, je renverrai), mourir (je mourrai), courir (je courrai), choir, échoir (il cherra, il écherra), acquérir, conquérir (j'acquerrai, je conquerrai), voir (je verrai), pouvoir (je pourrai).
