The document discusses the future tense (le futur simple) and conditional tense (le conditionnel) in French. It provides information on how to form the stems and endings of regular and irregular verbs in the future and conditional. For both tenses, the stem is formed the same way as in the future. The endings for the conditional are the same as for the imperfect tense. The future tense expresses what will happen, while the conditional expresses what would happen in certain circumstances. Examples are given to demonstrate usage.
