rêverons

Rêverons is the first‑person plural future tense form of the French verb rêver, which means “to dream.” In French, rêver is a regular -er verb, so the future tense is built by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive: rêver‑ons, rêver‑ez, rêver‑ont, etc. Therefore, rêverons is used when speaking about what “we” will do in the context of dreaming, either literally or metaphorically. The conjugation follows the pattern seen in other regular –er verbs such as parler, aimer, and travailler: nous parlerons, nous aimerons, nous travaillerons.

The word appears frequently in literature and everyday speech to refer to plans, aspirations, or imagined scenarios. For example, a poet might write, “Rêverons d’un monde sans guerre,” meaning “Let us dream of a world without war.” It can also be employed in informal speech to invite collective speculation or imagination: “Rêverons que demain sera meilleur.” Because of its future sense, rêverons often introduces clauses that outline hopes or intentions that have not yet been realized.

In linguistics, rêverons is a good illustration of the subject–verb agreement rules in French, where the subject pronoun nous (we) is paired with the verb ending –ons. The omission of the subject pronoun before a verb beginning with a vowel or mute h sometimes leads to elision, but in the case of rêverons the subject pronoun is usually retained for clarity. The form therefore remains consistent across spoken and written French.
