From Lesson 134:The future tense for regular verbs (-rai, -ras)·French

Questions & Answers about Ma carrière est mon but principal et je le réaliserai.

How is the future tense formed in réaliserai?
Réaliser is a regular -er verb. To form the futur simple, you take the entire infinitive (réaliser) and add the future ending for je, which is -ai. So, réaliser + -ai gives us réaliserai (I will achieve).
What does the le stand for in je le réaliserai, and why is it before the verb?
Le is a direct object pronoun meaning "it". It refers back to the masculine noun mon but (my goal). In French, object pronouns usually go directly in front of the conjugated verb, which is why it is je le réaliserai instead of "je réaliserai le".
Does réaliser mean "to realize" like when you suddenly understand something?
It can, but in this context it means "to achieve" or "to make real". While réaliser is sometimes used to mean "to become aware" (similar to English), its traditional meaning is to accomplish a goal, project, or dream. To say "I realize" (understand), it is often better to use the phrase se rendre compte.
Why does the sentence use both ma and mon to say "my"?
Possessives in French must match the gender of the thing you own, not the gender of the person speaking. Since carrière (career) is a feminine word, you use ma. Since but (goal) is masculine, you use mon.
