Questions & Answers about Lorsque le ministre entendra notre revendication, il acceptera.
Why is entendra in the future tense when the English translation says "hears" in the present tense?
In French, when describing an action that will happen in the future, time conjunctions like lorsque, quand (when), and dès que (as soon as) must be followed by the future tense. English uses the present tense here, but French is strictly logical: the hearing hasn't happened yet, so the verb takes the futur simple.
What is the difference between lorsque and quand?
How is the future tense of entendre formed in this sentence?
Entendre is a regular "-re" verb. To form the futur simple for "-re" verbs, you drop the final "e" from the infinitive to get your stem (entendr-) and then add the regular future endings. For le ministre (he), the ending is -a, giving us entendra.
Is revendication the standard word for any kind of "demand"?
