French/Lessons/Vacations

There are three versions of the future tense in French, the futur simple, the futur composé, and the futur antérieur (future perfect). One uses the future simple tense when referring to an action, certain to occur, in a time ahead of now.

Nationalities are not capitalized as often in French as they are in English. If you are referring to a person, as in an Arab person or a Chinese person, the French equivalent is un Arabe or un Chinois. However, if you are referring to the Arabic language or Chinese language, the French would not capitalize: l'arabe, le chinois. If the nationality is used as an adjective, it is normally left uncapitalized: un livre chinois, un tapis arabe.
