Conditional Tense or Futur tense

Si you hesitate betwen " je serais" (CT) and " je serai (FT) here's a way to stop making the mistake

If an action that will be done with certainty, we use must the future

For exemple " Demain, je serai à l'école" = "To morrow, i'ill be at school "

Et si vous avez des difficultés pour vous y retrouver,...And if you have difficuties, there is a trick = Just change the pronoun.

For exemple : je serai à Paris , Tu seras à Paris = futur de l'indicatif.

I ill be in Paris You ill be in Paris " " indicative

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

I'd be in Paris You'd be in Paris = Conditional tense
