jappliquerai

J'appliquerai is the first-person singular form of the French verb appliquer in the futur simple, meaning “I will apply.” It is used to express a future action in which the subject will place, use, or implement something, or to indicate that effort or a method will be put into effect.

Etymology and form. The verb appliquer comes from Old French and ultimately from Latin roots meaning to attach or join through the idea of applying something to a surface or to a task. In ordinary usage, the form j'appliquerai follows the standard futur simple endings for regular -er verbs: -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont, with the base applying- preceding the endings. The apostrophe is required before a vowel sound, giving the correct written form j'appliquerai.

Usage notes. J'appliquerai can denote concrete actions (applying ointment, applying paint, applying a cream) as well as abstract actions (applying a rule, applying a principle, applying oneself to a task). It contrasts with other tenses such as j'applique (I apply) in the present, or j'appliquerais (I would apply) in the conditional. The verb can also appear in several figurative senses, including implementing policies or procedures.

Common confusion. A frequent orthographic error is writing jappliquerai without the apostrophe. In standard French, elision is required: j'appliquerai. The form is used across formal and informal registers, depending on context.

Examples. J'appliquerai cette crème deux fois par jour. I will apply this cream twice a day. J'appliquerai les nouvelles directives à partir de demain. I will implement the new directives starting tomorrow.
