Hello everyone, bonjour à tous! 🧡 Welcome back to the French Made Easy podcast. This is episode number 133, numéro 133! 

Alright so, we haven’t done any conjugation in ages, so it’s time to get back into it! We're continuing our series on French verbs conjugated in the future tense, and today we're focusing on the verb "devoir". 

"Devoir" means "to have to" in English. If you're not yet familiar with the verb "devoir" yet in the present tense, then I suggest you go back and listen to episode number 38 first. It's really important to understand the present tense before studying the future tense. 

Ok so, as always, if this is your first time on the podcast, welcome, make sure you have your lesson's cheat sheet ready so you can follow along. After finishing the lesson, you can head over to the French Made Easy library to download your lesson’s exercises and practice what you learned today. It's all free and you can find all the links in the episode notes on your podcast platform. 

Now, let's dive into the simple future tense of "devoir". Please repeat after me so you can practice your pronunciation at the same time/ 

• je devrai (I will have to)
• tu devras (you will have to)
• il devra (he will have to)
• elle devra (she will have to)
• on devra (we will have to)
• nous devrons (we will have to)
• vous devrez (you will have to, plural or singular formal)
• ils devront (they, masculine, will have to)
• elles devront (they, feminine, will have to)

Excellent. Now let's see some example sentences with the verb "devoir" conjugated in the future tense. Again, repeat after me:
 

• Après le travail, je devrai appeler ma grand-mère pour son anniversaire. (After work, I will have to call my grandmother for her birthday.)
• Tu devras faire tes devoirs avant d’aller jouer. 📚 (You will have to do your homework before going to play.) 📚
