Si tu as froid à la tête, mets un chapeau !

We’ve seen that avoir froid means to be cold and avoir chaud means to be warm. But sometimes you’ve forgotten your gloves, and so you’re mostly fine, but your fingers are freezing! To complain about what specific parts are cold or warm, you can use avoir froid à and avoir chaud à.

J’ai froid aux mains.
My hands are cold.

J’ai trop chaud aux pieds avec ces chaussettes.
My feet are too warm with these socks.

Elle a froid aux jambes.
Her legs are cold.

Nous irons à la montagne

You’ve already seen how to talk about the future for most verbs. Usually they start from the infinitive form. However, some verbs that we use frequently have their own unique patterns, different from the corresponding infinitive: avoir starts with aur‑, être starts with ser‑, aller starts with ir‑, and faire starts with fer‑. As you can see, these forms look very different from the start!

Ils auront un examen demain.
They will have an exam tomorrow.

Vous serez occupés la semaine prochaine.
You will be busy next week.

Tu iras à la campagne dans deux jours.
You will go to the countryside in two days.

Qu’est‑ce qu’ils feront ce soir ?
What will they do tonight?

S’il fait beau, nous irons à la plage

When an action depends on something, you can create sentences with the word si.

Si j’ai le temps, je t’appellerai.
If I have time, I will call you.

Just like in English, you use the present after si, and the future to say the thing that might happen.

Si tu étudies, tu auras une bonne note.
If you study, you will get a good grade.

Si nous finissons le travail, nous regarderons un film.
If we finish work, we will watch a movie.
