Other Means to Express the Future

Aller + infinitive (to be going to + infinitive) is another way to express the future.

Je vais devenir folle.
(I am going to go crazy.)

Nous allons avoir une fête pour ton anniversaire.
(We are going to have a party for your birthday.)

Comment allez-vous passer vos vacances?
(How are you going to spend your vacation?)

Etre prêt à + infinitive (to be ready to/about to + infinitive) can be used to express a very immediate future:

J'étais prête à m'evanouir. (I was about to faint.)
Le train est prêt à partir. (The train is about to leave.)
