    entrer to enter
    sortir to go out

    L’imparfait
    Formation: radical/stem of nous in the present + terminations.
    Radical/stem of:
    etre – et
    avoir – av

    Example:

    verb (sortir) - nous sortons

    je sortais
    tu sortais
    il/elle sortait
    nous sortions
    vous sortiez
    ils/ells sortient

    L’Imperatif
    It is used to give a command/advice/warning. Only tu/nous/vous is used in this
    tense and the subject is not written/said when using l'Imperatif. No pronoun
    before the verb

    For all the groups we use the tu/nous/vous conjugation in present but for
    premier group the ‘s’ for ‘tu’ has to be removed

    Le Futur Simple
    In the future tense, we add the following endings to the verb in the infinitive
    directly if it is an ‘er’ or ‘ir’ verb. We remove the ‘e’ and then add the endings if
    it is an ‘re’ verb:
    -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont

    However, there are certain exceptions:

    Le Futur Proche
    The futurproche is used to show the near future, i.e. when an action is going to
    take place in a very short period of time. It is used with the verb aller (to go).
    The following formula is used:

    Subject + aller + verb (in the infinitive form)

    Example: I am going to eat.


    Je vais manger.

    She is going to see a film


    Elle va un film
