Is there pronounciation difference for the futur simple and the conditionnel in "je"? Other forms; tu, il, nous...etc., the two will sound different right?

Je parlerai, Je parlerais

Yes, there is a difference of pronunciation between them.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Depending upon the region and/or the speaker, there is not always a difference in sound that you can hear. However, here is a "rule" to follow:

ais = like the "e" in "get" = eh
ai = like the "a" in "gave" = a (first letter of the English alphabet)

Usually it will be clear by context but the ending sound of the passé simple, futur is not the same as the l'imparfait or le conditionnel.

Yes, there is a pronunciation difference between the futur simple and the conditionnel in "je". In the futur simple, the verb form will sound like "je parlerai" with an "-ai" sound at the end. On the other hand, in the conditionnel, the verb form will sound like "je parlerais" with an "-ais" sound at the end.

To further distinguish the pronunciation differences for other forms like "tu", "il", "nous", and so on, here are the corresponding examples:

- Tu parleras (futur simple) vs. Tu parlerais (conditionnel)
- Il parlera (futur simple) vs. Il parlerait (conditionnel)
- Nous parlerons (futur simple) vs. Nous parlerions (conditionnel)

Note that while there are some pronunciation differences between the futur simple and the conditionnel in all forms, it's important to keep in mind that the exact pronunciation can vary depending on regional accents and personal speaking styles. It's always helpful to listen to native speakers or consult pronunciation resources for a more accurate representation.
