trouverons

Trouverons is a French verb form, the first-person plural in the future simple tense of the verb trouver (to find). It literally means “we will find” or “we shall find” and is used to describe an action that is expected to occur in the future. In everyday speech, many speakers prefer the shorter or more general form with on: on trouvera (we will find). Nevertheless, trouverons appears in formal writing, planning contexts, and where the subject explicitly includes "we."

Formation and function: The future simple endings for -er verbs attach to the infinitive, so trouver → trouverons. The pronunciation generally preserves the root sounds of trouver, with the final -ons ending not pronounced as a distinct syllable, and the removed relative stress aligning with standard French future forms. The form is part of the indicative mood and is used with a declarative sense of future discovery or possession of a solution, treasure, or understanding.

Usage notes: Trouverons is transitive, taking a direct object in most sentences, e.g., Nous trouverons une solution. It can appear in dependent clauses when describing future outcomes, e.g., Nous espérons que nous trouverons la réponse. In questions, inversion yields trouverons-nous, as in Trouverons-nous une réponse satisfaisante?
