Garderont is the third-person plural form of the French verb garder in the simple future tense. It translates to “they will guard” or “they will keep” in English.

Formation and usage: Garder is a regular -er verb. To form the futur simple for ils/elles, the stem garder takes the ending -ont, yielding garderont. The pronunciation features a silent final -t, with the nasal ending on -ont. This form is used to describe actions that will occur in the future and can refer to guarding, keeping, or looking after something or someone.

Usage notes: Garderont appears in both written and spoken French, in contexts ranging from physical guarding to keeping information or promises. It can convey responsibility or obligation in the future, and is often contrasted with other future constructions (such as the near future with allez garder or the conditional in hypothetical contexts).
