TRANSCRIPT OF FRENCH LESSON ON “ALLER” IN THE PRESENT TENSE

Conjugaison du verbe “Aller”, au présent

JE VAIS

TU VAS

IL/ELLE/ON VA

NOUS ALLONS

VOUS ALLEZ

ILS/ELLES VONT

Notice that when you add another verb in the infinitive form, right after your verb aller in the present tense, you end up with an immediate future, un future proche. Let me give you an example. If I say,

“Je vais manger” What do I mean? “I’m going to eat.”

So it’s kind of similar to the English language. You conjugate the verb to go, in the present tense, and you add another verb in the infinitive form to say what it is that you’re going to do.

On va partir, tu vas chanter, Ils vont danser. ETC.

Allez, une petite illustration…
