In French there are two ways to talk about something that will happen: Le Futur Proche (near future) and Le Futur (the future).
LE FUTUR PROCHE
It only requires to conjugate the verb aller (to go) in the present tense. It involves using the correct conjugation of aller + an infinitive (unconjugated verb).
- On va regarder la télé ce soir = We are going to watch TV tonight
LE FUTUR
The future is used to talk about more distant future events. Its English equivalent is “I will ______.” Le futur involves using the infinitive and then adding the correct ending.

- tu marcheras = you will walk
- il/elle/on marchera = he/she/it will walk
- nous marcherons = we will walk
