A one-word future

You already have the near future, aller + infinitive: Je vais partir. — I'm going to leave. French has a second future, the futur simple, in a single word: Je partirai. — I'll leave.

The recipe is short: take the infinitive and add -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont. Verbs in -re drop their final e first: prendre → prendr-.

Pronoun Parler Finir Prendre
je parlerai finirai prendrai
tu parleras finiras prendras
il / elle / on parlera finira prendra
nous parlerons finirons prendrons
vous parlerez finirez prendrez
ils / elles parleront finiront prendront

The endings are almost the present of avoir: j'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, ils ont. Every future form has an r just before the ending.

One more verb for this lesson: oublier — to forget → j'oublierai, I'll forget.
