Point de départ
In Leçon 1A, you saw a form of the verb aller (to go) in
the expression ça va. Now you will use this verb to talk
about going places and to express actions that take
place in the immediate future.

Note that aller is irregular. Only the nous and vous forms
resemble the infinitive.

Aller can also be used with another verb to tell what is going
to happen. This construction is called le futur proche
(immediate future). Conjugate aller in the present tense
and place the other verb’s infinitive form directly after it.

To negate an expression in le futur proche, place ne/n’
before the conjugated form of aller and pas after it.

Note that this construction can be used with the infinitive
of aller to mean going to go (somewhere).
