suivra

Suivra is the third-person singular future simple form of the French verb suivre, which means to follow or to adhere to in various senses. It is used to describe a future action performed by he, she, or it. The pronunciation in standard French is approximately [sɥi.vʁa].

Conjugation and usage: The verb suivre is irregular in the future tense; the stem becomes suivr- and the endings are added as for other verbs. The full future simple paradigm is je suivrai, tu suivras, il suivra, nous suivrons, vous suivrez, ils suivront. The specific form suivra occurs after a subject pronoun: Il suivra le véhicule, Elle suivra les instructions.

Origins and cognates: Suivre derives from Latin sequi, meaning to follow. The French future tense forms develop from that root with the suivr- stem and a -a ending for the third-person singular. The form is used in literal senses of following a person, object, or path, as well as in figurative contexts such as following a plan, a rule, or a trend.

See also: suivre; the word suivra is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun or proper name in standard French. In translation, it generally corresponds to “will follow” in English.
