recevront

Recevront is a French verb form—the third-person plural in the futur simple indicative of recevoir, meaning “they will receive.” It is used to describe a future action performed by the subject ils or elles.

Etymology and form: The verb recevoir comes from Old French recevoir, ultimately from Latin recipere. In the futur simple, many forms share the stem recevr-, which appears in this form as well as in je recevrai, tu recevras, il recevra, nous recevrons, vous recevrez, and ils recevront.

Formation: The form recevront is built from the stem recevr- plus the standard futur simple ending -ont for ils/elles. The broader future paradigm for recevoir uses this same stem: je recevrai, tu recevras, il recevra, nous recevrons, vous recevrez, ils recevront.

Usage: Recevront is more common in written or formal contexts. In everyday speech, speakers often replace the simple future with aller + infinitif (ils vont recevoir). The form is typical in announcements, reports, and literary language when describing forthcoming actions by multiple subjects.

Examples: Ils recevront les colis demain. Les invités recevront des cadeaux à la fête.

Related forms: The infinitive is recevoir; related present forms include reçois, reçoit, recevons, recevez; the imperfect is recevaient; the conditional is recevraient. The future tense contains several forms built on the same stem, including recevrai, recevras, recevra, and recevront.
