🤔 Conditional Tense or Futur tense?

Are you always hesitating between "je serais" (Conditional mood) and "je serai" (futur tense) ?? 🤔

Here is a way to stop making the mistake.

If an action will be done with certainty, we use the future tense.

• For example "Demain, je serai à l'école" = "Tomorrow, I will be at school"

And if you have difficuties, there is a trick: Just change the pronoun.

• For example: je serai à Paris. Tu seras à Paris = futur de l'indicatif.

I will be in Paris. You will be in Paris = indicative future.

• Je serais à Paris. Tu serais à Pais = Présent du conditionnel

I would be in Paris. You would be in Paris = Conditional tense
