Questions & Answers about Je vais me promener demain aussi.

Why is it "me promener" and not simply "promener"?

In French, "se promener" is a reflexive verb meaning "to go for a walk." The "me" (or "se" in its infinitive form) indicates that the action is performed by and for the speaker. Without the reflexive pronoun, "promener" usually means "to walk" (e.g., walking someone else’s dog).

Why do we say "Je vais me promener" instead of using the future tense with "promènerai"?

Using "aller + infinitive" (such as "Je vais me promener") is called the near future, which is simpler and very common in everyday French. It emphasizes an event that is planned or going to happen soon. Conjugating in the future tense "Je me promènerai" is also correct but can sound slightly more formal or less immediate in casual speech.

Can "aussi" be placed anywhere else in the sentence?

Yes, "aussi" can move around somewhat. You could say "Demain aussi, je vais me promener" to emphasize "tomorrow as well," or "Je vais aussi me promener demain" to stress that walking is also something you’ll do. However, placing it right after "demain" is very typical and sounds natural.

Why is "demain" at the end of the sentence here?

In French, adverbs of time like "demain" can go at the beginning or end of a sentence without changing the meaning significantly. Saying "Je vais me promener demain" or "Demain, je vais me promener" are both correct. The choice often depends on the speaker’s style or what they want to emphasize.

Does "Je vais me promener demain aussi" imply doing something else in addition to walking tomorrow, or does it just stress that I'm walking tomorrow too?

It can do both, depending on context. Usually, the speaker is adding walking tomorrow to other plans, as in "I'm also going for a walk tomorrow" in addition to doing something else. If you already mentioned going for a walk on another day, "demain aussi" can emphasize that you’ll repeat that activity the next day.
