NEAR FUTUR BUT CONCRET
Time effect: sometimes a very distant future
Certainty: fairly strong, a real and planned action
Real future action, even if the date is far away.
Examples :
- En 2028, je vais commencer mon année universitaire.
In 2028, I’m going to start my university year.
- L’année prochaine, je vais acheter une maison.
Next year, I’m going to buy a house.
👉 The key is not the date, but how concrete the intention is.
