arriveront

Arriveront is the third-person plural form of the French verb arriver in the futur simple, meaning “they will arrive.” It is used to describe a future action by a group of subjects designated by ils or elles. The form is created by taking the infinitive arriver and adding the standard futur simple ending -ont, with no stem change for this verb in this tense.

In ordinary writing the full sentence would normally display as two words: the subject pronoun and the conjugated verb, for example Ils arriveront demain. The same form applies regardless of the gender of the subject, so elles arriveront also means “they (feminine) will arrive.” When listing forms in grammars or dictionaries, arriveront is shown as a single form, but in running text it appears as two words.

Usage wise, arriveront is common in narrative, reports, plans, and any context where a future arrival is being described for a plural subject. It contrasts with the near future (futur proche) constructed with aller plus infinitive, such as ils vont arriver, which is often used in spoken French for imminent events.

Examples:

- Ils arriveront à midi. They will arrive at noon.

- Si tout se passe bien, elles arriveront bientôt. If all goes well, they will arrive soon.
