Futur Simple (Simple Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb failler
Introduction to the verb failler
The English translation of the French verb failler is “to fail” or “to make a mistake.” The infinitive form, failler, is pronounced as “fay-yay.”
The word failler comes from the Old French word “failler,” which means “to err” or “to miss.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Futur Simple tense to express a future action or event that is uncertain or may not happen as expected.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Futur Simple tense:
- Je faillerai à mon promesse. (I will fail to keep my promise.)
- Tu failleras à ta parole. (You will fail to keep your word.)
- Il faillera peut-être à son devoir. (He may fail to fulfill his duty.)
In these examples, the verb failler is conjugated in the Futur Simple tense to express a future action that is uncertain or may not happen as expected. The negation “ne… pas” can also be added to form the negative form, as in “Je ne faillerai pas à mon promesse.” (I will not fail to keep my promise.)
