concourrai

Concourrai is the first-person singular form in the future simple tense of the French verb concourir, which means to compete or to participate in a contest. It is used to express a decision or intention to compete at some point in the future and appears in both spoken and written French.

Concourir derives from Latin concurrere and is related to other verbs in the same semantic group dealing with contending or taking part. The form concourrai specifically indicates “I will compete,” and it is paired with the corresponding future forms for other subjects (tu concourras, il concourra, nous concourrons, vous concourrez, ils concourront).

In usage, concourrai is typically found in contexts involving competitions, qualifications, or events where participation is involved. It can appear with future time expressions such as demain, bientôt, ou lors du prochain concours. It may also appear in hypothetical or conditional constructions when paired with certain modal or conditional phrases.

Examples include: Je concourrai au prochain festival. Si j’atteins mes objectifs, je concourrai pour le titre national. In everyday speech, speakers might alternatively use a periphrasis such as je vais concourir for a near-term or less formal sense of “I will compete.”
