What is 'I will be' in French?

Answer 1

You have to conjugate the verb etre in the future form because there is no word that means "will" in French.

Ex: I will be late

Je serai tard

To conjugate regular er verbs in the future form you add these endings to the infinitive form of the verb.

Ex: I will eat this.

Je le mangerai

Je- ai

Tu- as

Il/Elle- a

Nous- ons

Vous- ez

Ils/Elles- ont

For ir verbs, you add the endings to the infinitive, and for re verbs you drop the final e. The endings OF ALL FUTURE STEMS will end in r.

There are also irregular verbs that have a different stem, but have the same endings. But don't panic once you know these, the future tense in french is really easy...

The most common irregular verbs with different stems but the same endings are:

etre (to be)- ser

avoir (to have)- aur

farie (to do or to make)- fer

aller (to go)- ir

voir (to see)- verr

savoir (to know)- saur

*These are the same verbs that are irregular in the conditionelle form as well.

You also have to keep in mind how far into the future you want to say something, there is a futur proche, futur anterieor/perfect.

Answer 2

"What will be will be" translates literally as "ce qui doit être sera" in French. You will most often hear "ce qui doit arriver arrivera" or "advienne que pourra" (more resembling to "come what may").
