Questions & Answers about Vous comprendrez que les citoyens ont ce droit.
How is the future tense formed for the verb comprendrez in this sentence?
Why do we use ce before droit instead of cet or cette?
The word droit is a masculine singular noun starting with a consonant, so it takes the demonstrative adjective ce (meaning this or that). You would use cet if it started with a vowel sound, and cette if it were a feminine word.
Is droit related to the direction right?
Why is ont in the present tense if the first part of the sentence is in the future?
The sentence describes an action happening in the future (comprendrez), but what you will understand is a current, ongoing truth (the citizens possess this right right now). Therefore, ont (from the verb avoir) remains in the present tense.
