Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb calculer
Introduction to the verb calculer
The English translation of the French verb calculer is “to calculate.” It is pronounced kahl-koo-lay.
The origin of calculer can be traced back to the Latin word “calculare,” which means “to reckon or compute.” In everyday French, calculer is most often used in the Futur Proche (near future) tense to indicate an action that will take place in the future.
Three simple examples of using calculer in the Futur Proche tense are:
- Je vais calculer mes dépenses pour le mois prochain. (I am going to calculate my expenses for next month.)
- Tu vas calculer combien de temps il nous faudra pour arriver à la gare. (You are going to calculate how long it will take us to get to the train station.)
- Ils vont calculer le pourcentage de bénéfice avant de prendre une décision. (They are going to calculate the profit percentage before making a decision.)
In these examples, calculer is used to express an action that will happen in the future, and it is often accompanied by another verb to indicate the purpose of the calculation.
