deviendrai

Deviendrai is the first-person singular form of the French verb devenir in the future simple, meaning “I will become.” It expresses a future change of state or identity and is used to talk about what someone will become or achieve.

Conjugation and form: Devenir is irregular in the future, formed with the stem deviations of devia-? The standard construction uses the stem deviendr- plus the usual future endings. The full, standard paradigm is: je deviendrai, tu deviendras, il deviendra, nous deviendrons, vous deviendrez, ils deviendront. Therefore deviendrai is the form used with the subject je. The pattern mirrors other verbs in the -venir family, which commonly show a stem change in the future.

Usage: Deviendrai appears in statements of intention, aspiration, or prediction. Examples include: “Demain, je deviendrai médecin” (Tomorrow I will become a doctor) or “Si tout va bien, je deviendrai plus prudent.” It can also be used metaphorically to express personal transformation or a goal for the future.

Etymology and classification: Devenir comes from Latin via Old French, and today it is a common irregular verb of the French language. Its future tense uses the deviendr- stem, illustrating how some verbs in the devenir family modify their stem in different tenses while keeping standard endings.

Overall, deviendrai is a key form for describing future personal change in French and is encountered frequently in everyday speech, writing, and literature.
