Séloigneront

Séloigneront is the third-person plural future simple form of the French pronominal verb s'éloigner, meaning “they will move away.” The standard orthography is s'éloigneront; the apostrophe after s is required because the pronoun se elides before a vowel. Writing séloigneront without the apostrophe is nonstandard in formal French.

Formation and form: In the future tense, s'éloigner follows the regular pattern for pronominal verbs: the infinitive s'éloigner plus the ending -ont for ils/elles. The pronoun remains attached to the verb, yielding ils s'éloigneront. The form is used with plural subjects and refers to a future action of distancing oneself.

Meaning and usage: Séloigneront denotes physical or figurative distancing. It can describe moving away from a location, a person, or a situation, or more broadly creating distance in a relationship or belief. It is commonly used with prepositions such as de or from, or without when the context already implies the source of distancing.

Examples: Ils s'éloigneront de la ville demain. S'ils poursuivent ce chemin, ils s'éloigneront du danger. The non-pronominal counterpart éloigneront exists for transitive use, meaning “they will move something/someone away,” as in ils éloigneront le danger.

Etymology and related forms: The verb s'éloigner is formed from the reflexive prefix se- plus éloigner (to move away). The non-pronominal form éloigneront shares the same root but governs transitive usage. See also s'éloigner, éloigner, et futur simple.
